  • I am very happy with my results. The entire staff was knowledgeable about LASIK and made me very comfortable and relaxed. I would recommend anyone thinking about having LASIK done to your office. Thank you Dr. Haddad for your knowledge and spirit of making me feel good about myself.

  • Dr. Haddad made me feel at ease. I had other consultations scheduled before I found the Laser Eye Institute they got me in before my other appointments. My consultation went well and I felt very comfortable. I cancelled my other consultations and chose Laser Eye Institute.

Refractive Errors

PrintIncrease Font SizeDecrease Font Size

A refractive error is an error when focusing light, this is the most common reason of reduced visual acuity (poor or blurry vision). There are many type of refractive errors, however the three most common are myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

Myopia


Myopia or nearsightedness, occurs when the cornea is too curved or the eye is too long. This causes light to focus in front of the retina, resulting in blurry distance vision

Hyperopia


Hyperopia, or farsightedness, occurs when the cornea is too flat in relation to the length of the eye. This causes light to focus at a point beyond the retina, resulting in blurry close vision.

Astigmatism


Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is more curved in one direction than the other. This causes light to focus on more than one point on the retina, resulting in blurry and distorted vision.
