Refractive and optometric sciences are central to improving vision correction strategies and managing refractive errors. With the development of advanced diagnostic tools and cutting-edge treatments, this field is continually evolving to provide better solutions for patients with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Innovations such as femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK surgery, advanced intraocular lenses, and customized contact lenses are providing more precise and effective correction of refractive errors. In addition, the growing field of myopia control is focusing on interventions to slow the progression of myopia in children, offering the potential to reduce the incidence of severe vision problems in the future. The integration of optometry with the latest advancements in refractive surgery is driving a more holistic approach to patient care in the field of vision correction.
