Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) in Dubai | Non-Surgical Vision Correction
Discover Ortho-K in Dubai: a non-surgical solution for myopia control and clear daytime vision. Expert care with advanced orthokeratology lenses.
Introduction: Clear Vision Without Daytime Lenses
Struggling with nearsightedness or seeking freedom from glasses and daytime contact lenses? Ortho-K, or orthokeratology, offers a non-surgical solution to correct myopia by gently reshaping the cornea overnight. Wake up to clear vision and embrace a lens-free day.
Understanding Ortho-K: How It Works
Ortho-K involves specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses worn during sleep. These lenses temporarily reshape the cornea, correcting refractive errors like myopia. Upon removal in the morning, patients experience clear vision throughout the day without needing glasses or contact lenses.
