Let's first
understand how FDA approved Corneal Refractive Therapy with Paragon CRT works to
correct Myopia.
In the myopic eye,
the focusing power is too great. Light focuses in front of the
retina, making distant objects appear blurry. |
|
Today, Corneal Refractive Therapy provides an option for
patients. Paragon CRT lenses correct myopia, with/without low or
moderate astigmatism, by gently reshaping the cornea while you
sleep.
Corneal Refractive Therapy uses designed vision retainers
to gently and gradually reshape the front surface of the eye (the
cornea) to eliminate or reduce nearsightedness (myopia) or
astigmatism. The principle is similar to the use of a dental
retainer used by an orthodontist to realign crooked teeth. The
vision retainers are similar to contact lenses and are only worn at
night while sleeping. They are then removed upon awakening to
provide clear vision without using glasses or contact lenses! The
retainers are comfortable and very easy to care for.

The Perfect Place to Multi-Task...IN YOUR SLEEP!
The basic purpose of corneal refractive therapy is to
improve visual function. For many, this is a safe, non-surgical
approach to improving and restoring vision.
In people of all ages with increasingly stronger prescriptions, CRT can
slow down or stop the need to get stronger glasses. Research shows that
the effect may alter the person's long-term prescription |
