Blurry Vision

Objects at a certain distance appear out of focus. This can affect either near vision, distance vision, or both.

Double Vision

Seeing two images of a single object, a condition known as diplopia, can occur in cases of severe refractive errors.

Squinting

Frequent squinting to see more clearly can be a sign that your eyes are trying to compensate for a refractive error.

Eye Strain

Discomfort or pain around the eyes after reading, using a computer, or doing other close-up work.

Headaches

Persistent headaches, especially after visual tasks, can indicate uncorrected refractive errors.

Difficulty Seeing at Night

Increased difficulty seeing in low-light conditions, such as driving at night, can be a symptom of certain refractive errors like astigmatism.

LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis)

A popular refractive surgery that uses a laser to reshape the cornea, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina and reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)

Another type of laser eye surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors, similar to LASIK but without creating a corneal flap.

Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL)

Refractive lenses surgically implanted inside the eye to correct moderate to severe myopia and sometimes astigmatism, offering a reversible alternative to laser surgery.
