Refractive Error Correction at Pink City Eye & Retina Center, Jaipur
At Pink City Eye & Retina Center in Jaipur, we truly understand how important clear vision is to living a happy and active life. Whether you are having trouble seeing faraway road signs, struggling to read your mobile phone, or noticing blurry vision during daily tasks – you might be dealing with a refractive error.
We are here to help you see the world clearly again – with gentle care, advanced technology, and personal attention right here in Jaipur.
What Are Refractive Errors?
Refractive anomalies arise when ocular morphology alters the normal trajectory of incoming light, preventing it from properly focusing on the retina. This causes the light to miss the retina and results in blurry or unclear vision.
At our Jaipur-based center, we frequently manage the following categories of refractive disorders:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness): Visual clarity is retained for proximate objects, while distant targets appear defocused.
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Patients retain distance vision but exhibit difficulty with near-focus tasks.
- Astigmatism: Vision may be blurry or distorted at any distance due to irregular shape of the cornea or lens.
Presbyopia: A natural age-related condition, usually after age 40, that makes it hard to read or see nearby objects.
Correction Options Available at Pink City Eye & Retina Center, Jaipur
We offer a range of safe and effective treatments for refractive errors. Our expert doctors in Jaipur will recommend the most suitable option for you after a detailed eye check-up.
1. Eyeglasses
Eyeglasses are the simplest and safest way to correct refractive errors.
Benefits:
- Easy to wear and adjust
- Available in various designs and frames
- Suitable for all age groups – from children to elderly
Keep in mind:
- Not ideal for sports or physical activities
- Vision may change with time, requiring regular updates in prescription
2. Contact Lenses
Contact lenses, which rest atop the corneal surface, afford a broader and more physiologically natural field of view. Our Jaipur clinic offers multiple types of contact lenses based on your needs:
Types We Offer:
- Soft Lenses: Very comfortable and suitable for most people.
- Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP): Sharper vision, durable, but takes time to adjust.
- Toric Lenses: Designed especially for correcting astigmatism.
- Multifocal Lenses: Helpful in presbyopia, allowing both near and far vision.
Benefits:
- Gives a more natural look
- Great for people with active or sporty lifestyles
Things to consider:
- Requires good hygiene and regular cleaning
- May not be suitable for dry eyes or certain eye conditions
3. Refractive Surgery
Surgical interventions such as LASIK or SMILE offer enduring refractive correction, eliminating dependence on spectacles or lenses. At our Jaipur eye clinic, we use modern laser techniques to reshape your cornea.
Procedures Available:
- LASIK: Quick and popular, reshapes the cornea using a laser
- PRK: Good option for patients with thin corneas
- SMILE: A less invasive laser procedure for myopia and astigmatism
Benefits:
- Reduced or no need for glasses/contact lenses
- Fast healing with minimal discomfort
Points to Remember:
- Not everyone is eligible – we conduct a detailed evaluation in our clinic
- Mild side effects like dry eyes or glare may occur initially
4. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) utilizes custom-designed lenses worn nocturnally to induce temporary corneal reshaping, delivering unaided daytime clarity.
Benefits:
- Great for kids and teenagers in Jaipur with progressing myopia
- Reversible and completely non-invasive
Considerations:
- Needs regular nightly wear
- Frequent follow-ups are important for eye health
5. Phakic Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)
For patients in Jaipur with very high refractive errors or those not suitable for LASIK, phakic IOLs are a surgical solution. Phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) are inserted within the eye to augment refractive status while preserving the natural crystalline lens.
Benefits:
- Excellent vision correction
- Reversible and adjustable
Things to Know:
- It is a surgery, so involves some risks
Careful pre-surgery assessment at our Jaipur clinic is essential
When Should You Consider Treatment?
Should you experience any symptoms of visual disturbance, consult with us at Pink City Eye & Retina Center, Jaipur:
- Blurry or double vision
- Eye fatigue or frequent strain
- Headaches during reading or screen time
- Difficulty driving, especially at night
- Constant squinting or holding books/phones too close
Don’t wait – a simple, painless eye exam can help detect the problem early and start the right treatment.
Can Refractive Errors Be Prevented?
Refractive errors are usually caused by genetics or aging, and most cannot be “prevented.” However, our Jaipur-based eye specialists recommend a few things to help manage and slow down progression:
- Take screen breaks every 20 minutes (follow the 20-20-20 rule)
- Encourage kids to play outside daily – it helps slow myopia
- Use good lighting while reading or working
Don’t skip regular eye check-ups, especially for school-age children and adults over 40

However, it’s important to understand that the surgery corrects the current refractive error—your eye’s shape at the time of the procedure. Age-related changes, like presbyopia (near vision problems after 40), may still occur naturally over time.
Yes, people over the age of 50 can certainly benefit from refractive error correction. However, the treatment options might differ slightly due to age-related changes in the eye, like presbyopia or cataracts. Advanced techniques such as multifocal IOL implantation or refractive lens exchange are tailored to complex refractive errors.
