class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different parts in your eye(s) work together like members of a relay team. Light entering the eye is transmitted along a pathway to the brain. Light rays enter your eye through the <strong>cornea<\/strong>. The cornea is responsible for focusing the light onto the <strong>retina<\/strong> through the lens. The retina then converts this light into electrical signals, which are sent to the brain via the <strong>optic nerve<\/strong>. Your brain finally perceives those signals as the images you see in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><em>\ud83d\udca1 Cornea:<\/em><\/strong> <em>The clear, outermost part of the eye.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><em>\ud83d\udca1<\/em> <strong><em>Retina:<\/em><\/strong> <em>Light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eyeball.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><em>\ud83d\udca1<\/em> <strong><em>Optic nerve:<\/em><\/strong> <em>This is the 2nd cranial nerve that takes electrical signals from the retina directly to the brain.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the type of refractive error, your eye will be abnormally shaped. The abnormal shape of your cornea prevents light from focusing on the retina, resulting in unclear vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are different types of refractive errors. Depending on which kind you have, you may find it difficult to see clearly:<br>a.) at distance (far)<br>b.) at close-up objects<br>c.) at all distances<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>\ud83d\udea8 If you notice visual discomfort and unclear vision at any distance, schedule a consultation with a trusted eye care professional.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Refractive_Errors\"><\/span>Types of Refractive Errors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are 4 common types of refractive errors:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Types-of-Refractive-Errors-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"Types of Refractive Errors: myopia - hyperopia - presbyopia - astigmatism\" class=\"wp-image-11963\" style=\"width:737px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Types-of-Refractive-Errors-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Types-of-Refractive-Errors-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Types-of-Refractive-Errors-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Types-of-Refractive-Errors-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Types-of-Refractive-Errors-70x70.webp 70w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Types-of-Refractive-Errors.webp 1254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Visual Representation:<\/strong> Types of Refractive Errors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myopia_or_Nearsightedness\"><\/span>Myopia or Nearsightedness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/myopia-nearsightedness-risks-causes-and-prevention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Myopia<\/a>, more commonly known as nearsightedness, refers to a type of refractive error where the eye is too long from front to back. This results in light falling in front of the retina instead of on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another cause of the condition is your lens or cornea being too curved in shape. Consequently, people with myopia experience difficulty seeing distant objects clearly, whereas their near vision remains perfectly clear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><em>For example:<\/em><\/strong> <em>You\u2019re walking on the road and look up to read a billboard, but the font appears too blurry. When you look back down at your feet and the footpath, they appear clear. This indicates you\u2019re having difficulty seeing things clearly from a distance, while your near vision is clear.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearsightedness typically starts developing in young children, around the age of 8-10 years. The error can continue to progress, worsening distance vision, if corrective strategies are not employed in a timely manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hyperopia_or_Farsightedness\"><\/span>Hyperopia or Farsightedness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/hyperopia-farsightedness-early-signs-causes-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hyperopia<\/a>, more commonly known as farsightedness, is when you find it difficult to see close-up objects clearly. Essentially, it\u2019s the exact opposite of myopia.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><em>For example:<\/em><\/strong> <em>You are able to see what\u2019s written on the board from afar but cannot read the contents of the book in your hand clearly.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hyperopia develops when your eye is too short from front to back. Another cause for the condition is your lens or cornea being too flat. Farsightedness is generally congenital, but it can develop later in life, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Presbyopia\"><\/span>Presbyopia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/presbyopia-causes-symptoms-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Presbyopia<\/a> is an age-related vision decline condition. It\u2019s a specific type of farsightedness that only develops with age. Similar to hyperopia, presbyopia makes it difficult to focus on close-up tasks as people age.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The condition develops when the natural eye lens becomes less flexible. It typically develops after the age of 40 and is the most common reason for the increased need for reading glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Astigmatism_or_Cylindrical_Power\"><\/span>Astigmatism or Cylindrical Power<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Astigmatism, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/cylindrical-eye-power-symptoms-causes-and-treatment-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cylindrical eye power<\/a>, leads to blurry vision at all distances. This happens due to an irregular shape of the cornea. This results in the light bending and distorting more than it should.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no fixed onset age for astigmatism. It can develop at any time in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Refractive_Error_Causes\"><\/span>Refractive Error Causes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refractive errors develop due to changes in the shape of your lens, cornea, or eyeball. The type of anomaly in the shape of your eye determines the type of refractive error.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, age is another cause for the development of refractive errors like presbyopia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Refractive_Error_Symptoms\"><\/span>Refractive Error Symptoms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some common signs and symptoms of a refractive error include:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Refractive-Error-Symptoms-Infographic-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"Refractive Error Symptoms\" class=\"wp-image-11964\" style=\"width:706px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Refractive-Error-Symptoms-Infographic-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Refractive-Error-Symptoms-Infographic-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Refractive-Error-Symptoms-Infographic-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Refractive-Error-Symptoms-Infographic-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Refractive-Error-Symptoms-Infographic-70x70.webp 70w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Refractive-Error-Symptoms-Infographic.webp 1254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Visual Representation: <\/strong>Refractive Error Symptoms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unclear_vision\"><\/span>Unclear vision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the type of error, you may experience unclear distance or near vision.

These visual aids are personalised according to your eye power and help you see clearly when in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_lenses\"><\/span>Contact lenses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soft contact lenses or ortho-K contact lenses (typically prescribed for young children) are employed to provide clear vision. Soft contact lenses provide clear vision according to your eye power when they are in use. Ortho-K lenses, on the other hand, are only worn overnight &#8211; they temporarily change the shape of the cornea to provide clear vision during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Atropine_drops\"><\/span>Atropine drops<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While not a \u2018treatment\u2019, these drops are prescribed for children recently diagnosed with myopia to slow down its progression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vision_correction_surgery\"><\/span>Vision correction surgery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vision correction surgeries are either LASIK-based, laser-based, or lens-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LASIK-based surgeries<\/strong> (For eg: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/refractive-suite\/wavelight-plus-innoveyes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wavelight Plus InnovEyes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/refractive-suite\/contoura-vision-eye-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contoura Vision<\/a>) involve creating a flap on the cornea, then reshaping the underlying tissue with a laser to provide clear vision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Laser-based surgeries<\/strong> either rely on <strong>surface ablation<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/refractive-suite\/prk-eye-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PRK<\/a>) via laser without an incision or <strong>lenticule extraction<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/refractive-suite\/smile-pro-eye-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SMILE Pro<\/a>) via a tiny laser-made incision for reshaping the cornea. Either way, the motive is to reshape the cornea to facilitate clear vision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lens-based surgeries<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/refractive-suite\/icl-eye-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ICL<\/a>), on the other hand, involve implanting a biocompatible artificial lens inside your eye (not visible from the outside). This lens is customised to your eye power &amp; other visual needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you suspect that your child is showing signs of weakening eyesight, don\u2019t delay their checkup. Schedule a visit with the experienced eye specialists at Sohana Hospital for a complete eye evaluation and prompt myopia management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The institution boasts Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula\u2019s 1st ever dedicated <em><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/news\/sohana-eye-hospital-launches-tricitys-first-myopia-management-clinic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Myopia Management Clinic<\/a><\/em>.
