Refractive errors such as myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia and presbyopia are the most common causes of blurring of vision in individuals in all age groups. It is not uncommon for these conditions to be confused with one another. In addition, the awareness of the harmful effects of ultraviolet light on the eye is low among the general population.

What type of glasses do you need? Come learn about the different types of refractive errors and the harmful effects of ultraviolet light on the eye and see what options are available for their management.

Our speaker is Ms Fifiana, DipOptom(Merit) (S’pore). She is an optometrist with the Singapore International Eye Cataract Retina Centre at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre.
