Dubai, known for its opulent lifestyle and towering skyscrapers, is facing an alarming rise in myopia, particularly among children and young adults. Myopia, or nearsightedness, has surged by 30% in the UAE over the past decade, with nearly 40% of school-aged children in Dubai now affected. Addressing this growing health concern, we at Nuova Optics offer comprehensive solutions at our conveniently located optical stores in Souk Madinat and Jumeirah.
Several factors contribute to the rising incidence of myopia in Dubai. Increased screen time and limited outdoor activities are major culprits. We at Nuova Optics offer personalized advice on reducing screen time and taking regular breaks, as well as promoting the importance of outdoor activities. We encourage children to spend at least two hours outdoors daily to reduce the risk of myopia and nearsightedness.
Detecting myopia early is crucial, and we at Nuova Optics use a thorough four-step process for eye testing in our state-of-the-art eye test rooms:
- Visual Acuity Testing: Reading letters on a chart to determine vision clarity.
- Preliminary Testing: Assessing eye muscle coordination and pupil responses.
- Evaluate Refractive Status: Measuring refractive error for correct prescriptions.
- Final Evaluation: Reviewing all test results to develop a personalized vision care plan.
We further enhance eye care through our comprehensive eyewear solutions using ultra-modern equipment. Our optical lab is equipped with ultra-precise tools to craft optical lenses for spectacles, ensuring perfect vision correction.
To combat myopia effectively, we at Nuova Optics offer specialized computer glasses and reading glasses designed to prevent permanent myopic distortion. These glasses reduce eye strain from prolonged screen use and close-up activities. Our minimalistic styles and designs make wearing glasses cool and stylish, blending functionality with fashion.
In addition to providing corrective eyewear, we emphasize the importance of maintaining clean lenses for optimal eye health. We offer high-quality lens cleaning services and products, ensuring that your glasses remain clear and free from dirt and smudges. Proper lens cleaning not only enhances vision but also prolongs the life of your eyewear and reduces the risk of eye infections.
Our retail section features a wide assortment of eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses from major brands, catering to diverse tastes and preferences. We also provide high-quality repairs and precise adjustments for your favorite glasses, ensuring longevity and comfort.
By understanding the causes and implementing preventive strategies, we at Nuova Optics help residents protect their eye health and reduce the prevalence of myopia and nearsightedness. Our commitment to excellence and community well-being makes us a trusted eye store in the fight against myopia in Dubai.
