Refractive errors occur when the shape of your eye prevents light from focusing correctly on the retina, causing blurred or distorted vision. It’s a very common eye condition that affects children, adults, and seniors alike. Whether you’re having trouble seeing things up close or far away, it could be due to a refractive issue.
The good news? These errors are easily detected through a simple eye test and can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or advanced laser eye surgery. At Raghu Kamal Eye Care in Mumbai, we offer expert diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to help you see clearly again—without pain or stress.
At Raghu Kamal Eye Care, we offer personalized treatments for all types of refractive errors:
Myopia makes distant objects appear blurry while close objects remain clear. If you find yourself squinting to see the Big Ben clock face clearly, you might be dealing with myopia.
Hyperopia is the opposite of myopia. Close objects appear blurry, while distant objects are clearer. Reading a book or working on your computer might be challenging if you have hyperopia.
Presbyopia is an age-related condition that typically affects people over 40. It causes difficulty focusing on close objects, making reading small print a challenge without the aid of reading glasses.
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is irregularly shaped, causing blurred or distorted vision at all distances. It’s like looking through a wavy mirror.
Several factors can cause refractive errors:
Refractive errors often run in families and can be inherited.
Irregular eye shape or length can affect how light focuses on the retina.
The natural lens stiffens with age, reducing its focusing ability.
Certain eye diseases or injuries can lead to vision problems.
Too much screen use or poor eye habits can worsen eye strain and focus.
Missing regular eye exams can delay early detection and correction.
If you’re experiencing any of the following, you may have a refractive error:
Things near or far appear unclear and out of focus.
Frequent eye strain may lead to regular headaches.
You squint often to try and see things more clearly.
You may find it hard to read or see distant signs.
Your eyes may feel tired, sore, or irritated.
We offer safe and customized solutions to correct your vision:
Prescription glasses are the most common and simplest way to correct refractive errors. They work by using custom lenses that bend light properly onto the retina, helping you see clearly at any distance. Glasses are easy to wear, affordable, and suitable for all age groups. At Raghu Kamal Eye Care, we provide high-quality frames and lenses designed to match your exact vision needs and lifestyle.
Children with vision problems need early and gentle treatment to support learning and development. We offer specialized pediatric care including glasses, patching therapy, and child-friendly eye exams. Our expert doctors ensure early diagnosis and treatment of refractive errors in kids, which helps prevent future complications. The process is smooth, stress-free, and designed to make young patients feel safe and comfortable.
Contact lenses are a convenient alternative to glasses, placed directly on the eyes to provide natural and sharp vision. They adjust how light enters your eyes, just like glasses, but without the frames. Perfect for people who want more freedom in their daily activities, contact lenses are lightweight, comfortable, and available in daily, monthly, or extended-wear options based on your needs.
RLE is an advanced surgical option where the eye’s natural lens is replaced with a customized artificial lens. It’s ideal for people over 40 with presbyopia or early-stage cataracts who want clearer near and far vision. This one-time procedure offers long-lasting results and is often combined with other treatments for best outcomes. RLE is especially effective when laser options are not suitable.
Laser eye surgery like LASIK and PRK offers a permanent solution by reshaping the cornea with high-precision laser technology. This helps light focus directly on the retina, correcting conditions like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. It’s a painless, bladeless, and fast procedure with quick recovery — most people notice clearer vision within 24–48 hours. It’s a life-changing option for those wanting to reduce or stop using glasses.
