Refractive Error Correction
Refractive Error Correction at Dr. Sushma Kumari’s Advanced Eye Clinic
Refractive errors are the most common cause of vision problems worldwide. They occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina, leading to blurry vision. At Dr. Sushma Kumari’s Advanced Eye Clinic, we offer comprehensive refractive error correction services to help patients achieve clear, sharp vision.
The most common types of refractive errors include:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness): Objects close up are clear, but distant objects appear blurry.
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Distant objects are clear, but close objects are blurry.
- Astigmatism: The cornea or lens is irregularly shaped, causing blurry vision at all distances.
- Presbyopia: A natural age-related condition that affects the ability to focus on close objects, typically starting around age 40.
Dr. Sushma Kumari, with her expertise in refractive error correction, uses the latest diagnostic equipment to assess the severity of the condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment. Treatment options vary based on the type and severity of the refractive error.
For many patients, eyeglasses or contact lenses provide an effective solution. However, for those looking for more permanent correction, Dr. Sushma offers advanced surgical options, including LASIK and PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy), which reshape the cornea to improve light focus and eliminate or reduce dependence on corrective lenses.
In addition to LASIK and PRK, Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is an option for patients with presbyopia or other age-related refractive issues. During RLE, the natural lens is replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) that helps restore clear vision at various distances.
At Dr. Sushma Kumari’s Advanced Eye Clinic, we provide personalized, comprehensive care for refractive errors, ensuring that patients receive the best treatment for their specific vision needs. Whether through non-surgical or surgical options, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve optimal vision and improve their quality of life.
