Refractive error
text:
Refractive error is a problem with focusing light accurately on the retina due to the shape of the eye and/or cornea. The most common types of refractive error are near-sightedness, far-sightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.

Other symptoms may include double vision, headaches, and eye strain. Near-sigh
