Experiencing difficulties in seeing close or distant objects clearly is a common vision issue, known as refractive errors. Fortunately, these can frequently be corrected with eyewear such as glasses or contact lenses. For those seeking a more permanent solution, laser refractive surgery, including PRK, is available to adjust the cornea’s shape and reduce the dependency on corrective lenses.
Eye Physicians & Surgeons brings over 50 years of expertise in eye care to the Atlanta and Decatur communities, offering comprehensive solutions for vision correction. Our experienced team of physicians and surgeons is dedicated to enhancing your vision health with personalized care.
About Refractive Errors
Myopia (Nearsightedness)
Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when distant objects appear blurry, while close objects remain clear. This condition arises when the cornea is too curved, or the distance between the cornea and retina is too extensive, causing light to focus in front of the retina. If you’re experiencing blurry vision for distant objects, Eye Physicians & Surgeons can help diagnose and treat your myopia effectively.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
Hyperopia, known as farsightedness, causes difficulty in seeing close objects clearly, with severe cases affecting distant vision as well. This condition is due to an overly flat cornea or a short distance between the cornea and retina, leading to light focusing behind the retina. Our specialists in Atlanta and Decatur are skilled in diagnosing and managing hyperopia for enhanced vision clarity.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is characterized by an uneven cornea, which distorts vision for both near and distant objects. Often accompanying myopia or hyperopia, it results in light rays focusing on multiple points around the retina. At Eye Physicians & Surgeons, our comprehensive approach ensures precise diagnosis and treatment tailored to your unique vision needs.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is an age-related condition that affects your ability to focus on close objects, typically beginning between the ages of 40 and 45. As the lens in the eye hardens over time, it loses flexibility, making it challenging to focus on nearby objects, like reading small print. Glasses or contact lenses are common solutions, but innovative technology, such as the AcrySof ReSTOR implant, can offer improved vision during cataract surgery. Our team is ready to guide you through these advanced options.
