The ability to focus light accurately onto the retina is vital for clear vision, and disruptions in this process give rise to a range of visual conditions. Managing refractive errors and correction requires a tailored approach, depending on whether the issue involves nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or age-related focusing loss. While glasses and contact lenses remain widely used and continue to benefit from better materials and ergonomic designs, many individuals now consider surgical alternatives. Procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy and lens-based corrections offer reliable, long-term improvements. For younger patients, especially those with progressive myopia, non-invasive treatments like corneal reshaping lenses worn overnight are gaining traction. Advances in diagnostics help match patients with the most suitable corrective strategy, factoring in corneal health, lifestyle, and long-term visual needs. Ongoing innovations in optics, combined with greater awareness of eye health, are helping clinicians improve outcomes and expand access to effective refractive care.
