Refractive errors occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing correctly on the retina, causing blurred vision. The four most common types are all treatable with the right specialist care.
The eye focuses light in front of the retina, so distant objects appear blurred while near vision stays clear. It commonly develops in childhood.
Light focuses behind the retina, so near objects appear blurred and, in severe cases, distance too. Eye strain and headaches are common.
An irregular curvature of the cornea or lens scatters light, blurring vision at all distances. It often occurs alongside short or long-sightedness.
An age-related change where the lens loses flexibility, making near focus harder from the mid-forties. Reading glasses help, but surgery offers a lasting solution.
A specialist assessment may be right for you if you notice any of the following:
Blurred or unclear vision when looking at distant objects such as road signs, boards or screens.
Difficulty focusing on near objects such as books, menus or your mobile phone.
Blurred or distorted vision at all distances, or objects appearing to have a shadow or double outline.
Eye strain, fatigue or persistent headaches after reading, screen use, or driving.
Needing to hold reading material at arm's length to see it clearly, particularly from your mid-forties.
Noticing a gradual change in vision quality over time, or difficulty seeing clearly in low light or at night.
If any of these apply to you, our specialists can help. Book a consultation to find out which treatment option is right for you.
Restored clarity for near and distant objects, screens, and everyday tasks.
Less or no dependence on glasses and contact lenses in suitable patients.
A plan tailored to your specific refractive error, eye health, and lifestyle goals.
Reduced eye strain, fatigue, and headaches caused by uncorrected refractive errors.
Ongoing specialist monitoring to protect your vision and long-term eye health.
Restored confidence to drive, read, work, and enjoy everyday activities.
Advanced laser eye surgery reshapes the cornea to correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. It is ideal for low to moderate prescriptions and offers rapid recovery with excellent visual outcomes in suitable candidates.
An Implantable Collamer Lens is placed inside the eye to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism without removing corneal tissue. ICL is a reversible solution well suited to higher prescriptions or thinner corneas, where laser surgery may be less appropriate.
Refractive lens exchange replaces the natural eye lens with a premium intraocular lens. It is the recommended surgical option for presbyopia, restoring near focusing ability and eliminating the risk of future cataracts. It is also suitable for high hyperopia or prescriptions outside the range of laser surgery.
Your consultant performs a detailed examination to measure your prescription, assess your eye health, and identify any refractive errors including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or presbyopia.
Where appropriate, advanced imaging and corneal measurements are taken to evaluate your eye's anatomy and determine your suitability for each treatment option.
Based on your results and lifestyle goals, your consultant recommends the most suitable approach. This may range from glasses or contact lenses to vision correction surgery such as LASIK, ICL or refractive lens exchange.
The chosen procedure is carried out by your consultant. Laser and lens-based surgeries are performed as a day case, with most patients noticing a significant improvement in vision very quickly.
We provide clear aftercare guidance and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and long-term eye health, helping to protect your vision for years to come.
Initial Consultation
A comprehensive eye examination including prescription measurement and eye health assessment to identify and quantify your refractive error, whether myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or presbyopia.

I can highly recommend the Eye Doctor Clinic, and I am so pleased I went there. Dr Musa, Gemma and Jess are lovely. They are very knowledgeable and were able to answer all my questions. My vision following surgery is great, and not having to wear glasses is fantastic.

I recently had LASEK eye surgery - Dr Musa and team were excellent - pre and post op care is exceptional - highly recommend.
Michelle Cowan
Luckily, I was advised to see Dr Musa. At the consultation, I was impressed by the thorough examination I received and the surgical plan. I confidently undertook surgery, and after an extremely short recovery, I was amazed at the result. Better than 20/20 vision! I certainly would not now trust anyone else other than Dr Musa with the health of my eyes.
John Hick
Dr Musa was recommended to me for my cataract surgery for both eyes. He performed the surgery with utmost care and professionalism. He explained the procedure and outcome to me in detail. I am very pleased with the result so far and look forward to years of spectacle-free life. He was warm and friendly, and the procedure cost was explained at the outset, with no hidden fees.

Book your consultation with our specialists to explore how we can correct your refractive error and help you see more clearly, with or without glasses.
Early signs include difficulty seeing distant objects clearly, squinting to focus, and sitting closer to screens. A specialist assessment is the most reliable way to confirm short-sightedness and measure your prescription accurately.
Short-sightedness (myopia) causes blurred distant vision because the eye is too long and light focuses in front of the retina. Long-sightedness (hyperopia) causes blurred near vision because the eye is too short and light focuses behind the retina. Both are refractive errors that can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses or surgery.
Astigmatism is caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens, which prevents light from focusing to a single clear point on the retina. It results in blurred or distorted vision at all distances. Astigmatism is very common and often occurs alongside short or long-sightedness.
Presbyopia is a natural age-related change in which the eye's lens gradually loses its flexibility, making it harder to focus on near objects. It typically becomes noticeable in the mid-forties. While reading glasses are a practical first solution, refractive lens exchange with a premium intraocular lens can restore near vision and reduce or eliminate the need for reading glasses.
You should seek specialist advice if blurred vision, eye strain, headaches or difficulty reading are affecting your daily life, if your optometrist has raised concerns, or if there is a family history of refractive or eye conditions. Early assessment leads to better outcomes.
