Vision Correction That Works While You Sleep:
Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT)
Imagine being able to work, drive, read the clock, play sports – do just about everything- with much less dependence on your spectacles or contact lenses. If you're nearsighted, you may be a candidate for an innovative therapy that enables crisp, clear vision without using glasses or contact lenses during waking hours. And it's non-surgical.
Corneal Refractive Therapy gently reshapes the curvature of your eye with therapeutic contact lenses, which you only wear during sleep. When you wake up, you remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision all day long. It's that simple!
Contacts That Work — Even When You're Not Wearing Them
Eyeglasses and regular contacts are effective while being worn, but when removed they don't provide any lasting improvement. Laser surgery alters your eyes to improve vision and might be a good option for some, but it's expensive, involves risk, and permanently removes eye tissue. Corneal Refractive Therapeutic contact lenses are a quantum leap beyond those alternatives: It changes the shape of your eyes to improve vision, but in a way that's non-surgical and reversible.
Benefits of Corneal Refractive Therapy include:
Great vision without the hassles of daytime contacts or eye glasses.
Since Corneal Refractive Therapy is not permanent, if you decide to discontinue, your vision will return to its original state in as little as three days.
24-hour vision, since you can see with CRT lenses on or off.
What You Can Expect from CRT
Fast Results. Most CRT wearers experience rapid vision improvement during the first few days and achieve nearly their optimum vision in one to two weeks.
Oxygen for Good Eye Health. Our Doctors utilize the Paragon CRT contact lenses, which are made of a highly oxygen permeable material that is FDA-approved for overnight wear. More oxygen reaching your eyes means less risk of eye health problems. Plus, your eyes can breathe all day without the obstruction of contacts.
Comfort and Safety. With a smooth back surface produced with micron-level accuracy, the lenses are comfortable and safe. In fact, during the FDA clinical study no serious adverse events were reported in Paragon CRT wearers.
Ease of Use. If you can insert a contact lens in your eye, you can use CRT therapeutic lenses.
Effectiveness. As part of the FDA clinical study, Paragon CRT wearers rated their vision before and after treatment. 91.7% of post-treatment patients said their unaided vision after removing the Paragon CRT lenses was good, very good, or excellent, compared with a rating of 91.3% for vision with their pre-treatment glasses or contact lenses.
