Treatment of Refractive Error
By Dr. Mohini Modak, Focus Eye Clinic, Thane
Refractive errors occur when the eye cannot focus light properly, causing blurred vision. Common types include myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the refractive error. Prescription glasses and contact lenses are the most common solutions. For eligible patients, laser vision correction procedures such as LASIK or PRK can reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses. Patients with very high refractive errors or thin corneas who are not suitable for laser surgery may benefit from Phakic Intraocular Lens (Phakic IOL) implantation, where a special lens is placed inside the eye without removing the natural lens. For older patients, especially those with early cataracts or presbyopia, Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) involves replacing the natural lens with a premium intraocular lens to provide clear vision at multiple distances. At Focus Eye Clinic, Thane, Dr. Mohini Modak offers comprehensive eye evaluation and personalized treatment plans using advanced technology to help patients achieve the best possible vision.
