Refractive Errors

What causes the blurry vision that contact lenses correct?

Contact lenses help people see the world with clear vision, but why do people have blurry vision in the first place? In many cases, its caused by a “refractive error”—which is when the eye isn't able to focus light properly. Below are some of the most common refractive errors.

Myopia (nearsightedness)

Myopia, often called nearsightedness, is a chronic progressive disease where the eye grows longer than it should, causing blurry distance vision.

Hyperopia (farsightedness)

Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is where you can see objects clearly at a distance but find it hard to focus on things close up.

Basics of Hyperopia

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is blurred or distorted vision at all distances caused by an imperfection in the eye's curvature.

Presbyopia (age-related farsightedness)

Presbyopia is difficulty seeing up close that begins to affect everyone around the age of 40 due to changes in the flexibility of your eye’s lens.

Important Information for Contact Lens Wearers: ACUVUE Contact Lenses are available by prescription only for vision correction.

Do not wear contact lenses if you have an eye infection, or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems. If one of these conditions occurs, remove the lens and contact your eye doctor immediately.
