What is refractive error?

Refractive error is a condition of the eye when light rays entering the eye are not brought to focus at the retinal plane. The corneal serves as a major refracting surface of the eye. Altering the shape of the cornea even slightly could cause a change in the refractive error. It is based on this principle that corneal laser refractive procedures work. The procedure taking only 5-7 minutes, usually has a lot of positive impact in boosting our patients' self-confidence. You may ask if this is safe. But Laser correction of refractive errors has been around for 2 decades. They are quite safe. On top of it all, the procedure is performed under surface anesthesia with just eye drops. You won’t feel a thing.
