The ophthalmic refractometer is a device that is used to measure lens strength and power to provide patients with proper eyeglasses in order to correct their vision. It helps a doctor to identify refractive errors in the vision. Refractive errors prevent light from entering the eyes and to focus on the retina correctly. Restricted light that enters the eye negatively impacts the vision and causes eye problems. Common vision impairments in patients are myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Most eye problems arises due to an unhealthy lifestyle, improper nutrition, stress, genetic disorders, etc. Hence, the measurement provided by the ophthalmic refractometer helps the eye specialist to provide preferable eyeglasses.
