Description

Blurred vision, commonly known as "refractive error," is a condition where your eyesight appears hazy or unclear at any distance, often caused by irregularities in the cornea—the clear front surface of your eye. Sometimes described as general vision blur, fuzzy eyesight, or difficulty focusing, this issue can affect daily tasks like reading or driving and is often linked with terms like astigmatism, nearsightedness (myopia), or farsightedness (hyperopia). People experiencing persistent blurriness, wavy vision, or ghost images may be suffering from refractive errors due to corneal problems, such as keratoconus or corneal irregularity. Modern treatments, including advanced laser eye surgery options like LASEK in South Korea, offer effective solutions for those who want clearer vision without relying on glasses or contact lenses. If you notice that your vision remains blurry even with corrective lenses, or if you have been told you are not a candidate for standard LASIK surgery due to thin or irregular corneas, exploring tailored solutions in Korea could help you achieve lasting visual clarity.
