How can a refractive error be corrected?
The standard method for correction of any refractive error is glasses or contact lenses. A newer correction available is Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT), available from Wilmer’s optometrists at Green Spring Station, which uses special contact lenses that mold the cornea. There are also several types of surgical options depending on the type of refractive error; some options use lasers, some do not.
