The lens, a crucial part of the eye responsible for focusing light onto the retina, becomes opaque, resulting in blurred or foggy vision. While cataracts are most often associated with … Read more
What are Refractive Errors? Refractive errors are vision conditions that occur when the eye does not focus light directly on the retina, leading to blurred or distorted vision. These errors are among the most common visual impairments worldwide and can affect individuals of all ages. They arise due to irregularities in the eye’s shape or … Read more
