What are Refractive Errors?
Light is focused by the cornea and lens, at the front of the eye and the image falls on the retina at the back of the eye, which acts like a film in the camera. Deviations are referred to as ‘refractive errors’, and the vast majority of these can be corrected with spectacles, contact lenses or surgery.
