Computerized refraction is a precise and efficient method of determining an individual’s refractive error and prescribing the correct spectacle power. At Yashoda Nethralaya, we use advanced auto-refractors to measure the focusing power of the eyes, ensuring an accurate and comfortable prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.

The procedure begins with the patient looking into the computerized auto-refractor, which projects a light beam into the eye. The device then measures how the light reflects off the retina to determine any refractive error. This process is quick, painless, and provides an initial estimate of the eye’s prescription.

Once the computerized reading is obtained, our optometrist or ophthalmologist refines the results using a phoropter to conduct a subjective refraction test. During this step, the patient is asked to look through different lenses and provide feedback on clarity, ensuring the most comfortable and precise prescription is determined.

Computerized refraction is essential for individuals experiencing blurry vision, frequent headaches, or difficulty focusing at different distances. It helps diagnose common refractive errors such as:

• Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly.

• Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Trouble focusing on close-up objects.

• Astigmatism: Distorted or blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea.

• Presbyopia: Age-related difficulty in reading or seeing up close.

Regular glass power checks are recommended for children, adults, and senior citizens to ensure optimal vision and eye comfort. With frequent screen exposure and increasing digital device usage, routine eye examinations help prevent strain and maintain good ocular health.

At Yashoda Nethralaya, we provide comprehensive and accurate computerized refraction services to help you achieve the best visual clarity. Whether you need a first-time prescription or an update to your existing glasses, our specialists ensure a precise and personalized solution tailored to your needs.
