Refractive Eye Conditions

Clear vision is an essential part of our daily lives. Clear vision depends on how light rays are focused inside the eye. Normally, light is focused sharply on the retina, allowing the eye to see clearly at all distances. With refractive disorders, the eye’s shape is disproportionate, causing light to focus in front of or behind the retina. This refractive condition causes objects seen with the eye to appear blurry.

Cleveland Clinic physicians specialize in refractive eye surgery procedures. This procedure can correct many common vision problems, and can be done quickly and safely by our LASIK and eye surgeons.
