Corneal Reshaping
Corneal reshaping is a non-surgical procedure designed to correct vision problems, primarily myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness). It involves the use of specially designed contact lenses that gently reshape the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, while the patient sleeps. This temporary alteration allows for improved vision during the day without the need for glasses or regular contact lenses.
The process typically takes a few days to weeks to achieve optimal results. Patients are monitored by an eye care professional to ensure the reshaping is effective and safe. This method is particularly popular among those who want to avoid surgery or who are not suitable candidates for procedures like LASIK.
