Refraction
Refraction determines the exact lens power your eyes need to correct myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness) or astigmatism, and identifies presbyopia—the natural loss of near focus that most people notice after their early forties. An accurate prescription reduces eye strain, headaches and blurred vision, including the digital eye strain common with extended screen use, and is the foundation of comfortable everyday sight.
