CRT Lenses
Great Vision … Without Glasses … Without Lenses … Without Surgery!
You know how wearing a mouth retainer at night can straighten your teeth? New contact lenses worn at night can improve vision for nearsighted persons! With the use of specially designed contact lenses, the cornea of the eye can be gently reshaped while you sleep to improve your daytime vision without the need of glasses or contacts.
Paragon CRT is a specially designed oxygen permeable therapeutic contact lens used in Corneal Refractive Therapy. This sophisticated non-surgical process temporarily reshapes the cornea while you sleep. You remove the lenses when you awake and are able to go through the day without any other vision correction. Corneal Refractive Therapy is not permanent, so if you stop wearing the lenses regularly while you sleep, your vision will return to its original state in as little as 72 hours.
Paragon CRT treats nearsightedness (myopia up to -6.00 diopters) with or without minor astigmatism (up to -1.75 diopters). And because there are no age restrictions on Paragon CRT, it may be the perfect option for any member of the family including active adolescents.
“I’ve seen great success with corneal reshaping in kids 8 to 18,” Dr. Ferguson says. “They love the convenience and don’t worry about losing contacts in football, basketball or other contact sports. More importantly, research shows this procedure can delay and slow the progression of nearsightedness.”
If you want to forgo glasses and contacts and are wary of LASIK surgery, corneal reshaping is an option for you. Financing is available. Contact us at (605) 232-6900 for more information on this procedure.
