COMMON CONDITIONS

Refractive Errors Explained

When light rays enter the normal eye, they are focused at a single point on the retina, this is located at the back of the eye. The cornea (the clear portion at the front of the eye) and the lens inside the eye bend or 'refract' the light rays so that they focus at the correct point.

Refractive errors occur when for various reasons, the light is incorrectly refracted, causing some common eyesight problems.
Listed below are some of these common refractive errors. Please click to view details.
