The most common treatment for refractive disorders are eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Eyeglasses are the most simple and safest way to correct refractive error issues. Your ophthalmologist Dr. Richard L. Deluca or an eye doctor can prescribe precise lens dimensions in your eyeglasses to change the refracted focal point and place it directly on your retina to provide you with optimal vision clarity.
Contact lenses actually refract or bend the light before it reaches the lens and cornea, creating a more precise focus or refraction. People who wear contacts often experience a wider field of vision and clearer vision than people who wear eyeglasses. Contacts are effective and safe as long as they’re fitted properly and you take care of the contact lenses properly. It’s extremely important to follow the instructions and guidelines to wash your hands and clean your lenses to avoid infection. There are some eye conditions that prohibit the use of contacts. Ask your eye care professional to determine if you have any of these issues.
Refractive surgery is an option to permanently change the shape of your cornea. The improved shape of your cornea restores the focusing ability of your eye by permitting the light rays to correctly focus on your retina. Ask your ophthalmologist if refractive surgery is an appropriate option for you.
