Abstract

Refractive error of the eye is the most common pathology of the organ of vision. The prevalence of this pathology among the general population is, according to various authors, from 12 to 80%. Such a scatter in the frequency of occurrence is associated with regions of residence and age scatter during the analysis. The traditional way to correct refractive errors is spectacle correction. Currently, more than a billion people in the world use glasses to improve their visual functions. An alternative to spectacle correction is contact correction. It is also one of the most widespread types of correction of refractive errors in the eye.
