Have you ever wondered, why we wear eyeglasses?
People need eyeglasses and contacts due to a common condition known as refractive error, which causes blurry vision. An ideal eye has perfect near and far vision. This indicates that the cornea and lens clearly focus objects onto the retina. However, not everyone has a perfect 20/20 vision. There are three types of refractive errors –
- Astigmatism
- Nearsightedness (Myopia)
- Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
Fortunately, with modern technological advancements, an ophthalmologist in Mumbai can easily set your eyes straight. But before we talk about the treatment, it’s important to understand more about refractive errors.
