Refraction (Eye Power Check)

Refraction (Eye Power Check) – Chokher Seba Hospital

Refraction, commonly known as Eye Power Check, is one of the most important tests performed at Chokher Seba Hospital to determine whether a patient needs glasses or an updated prescription. This test measures how light focuses on the retina and identifies refractive errors that affect vision clarity.

During the refraction process, our optometrists use a combination of advanced equipment and manual techniques to accurately determine the correct power of your glasses or contact lenses. The test is simple, safe, and suitable for all age groups.

Refraction helps diagnose:

·         Myopia (Nearsightedness)

·         Hyperopia (Farsightedness)

·         Astigmatism

·         Presbyopia (Age-related near vision problem)

The process typically includes:

·         Auto-refractometer screening for initial measurements

·         Phoropter/manual testing to fine-tune the prescription

·         Visual acuity testing using charts

·         Lens comparison (“Which is clearer, 1 or 2?”) to find the best clarity

Key benefits of Refraction at Chokher Seba Hospital:
