Refractions (Glasses Prescriptions)


A refraction is the part of an eye exam that determines your glasses prescription. At Orchard Ophthalmology, Dr. Gappy provides precise, personalized refractions to help you see clearly and comfortably in your daily life.

  • A refraction is a test used to measure how light focuses in your eyes and determine the correct prescription for glasses.

    The goal is to fine-tune your vision so you can see as sharply and comfortably as possible.

  • You may benefit from a refraction if you:

    • Have blurry or fluctuating vision

    • Need an updated glasses prescription

    • Have difficulty reading or driving

    • Experience eye strain or headaches

    • Wear glasses

    Even small changes in prescription can make a noticeable difference in visual clarity.

  • An accurate prescription can improve:

    • Clarity of vision

    • Comfort during reading or screen use

    • Night driving

    • Eye strain and fatigue

    Even small inaccuracies can lead to discomfort or suboptimal vision.
