What is PARAGON CRT(Corneal Refractive Therapy) ?

Sleep your way to Great Vision !

Correct your vision while you sleep with safe, non-surgical Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses, and enjoy great vision
24 hours a day, without the hassles of glasses and daytime contacts.

Paragon CRT is a specially designed oxygen permeable therapeutic contact lens used in Corneal Refractive Therapy.
Corneal Refractive Therapy is a sophisticated, non-surgical process, which reshapes the cornea while you sleep.
You remove the lenses when you awake and are able to go throughout the day without any other correction.

Corneal Refractive Therapy with Paragon CRT

Now you can be free of daytime contact lenses and glasses during your daily activities without undergoing surgery
and enjoy great vision! Recent clinical research combined with the latest corneal surface mapping technology,
computerized manufacturing and space age oxygen-breathing materials have brought new science to corneal reshaping.

Corneal Refractive Therapy is a non-surgical process clinically developed to reshape the cornea while you sleep.
The result is the temporary correction of myopia with or without moderate astigmatism.

Similar in appearance to standard contact lenses, Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses gently reshape the corneal surface
during sleep and provide clear, natural vision when the lenses are removed upon waking.

Because Paragon CRT offers freedom from glasses and the hassle of wearing contact lenses during the day,
this leading-edge technology can enhance the lifestyle of those requiring vision correction. Active individuals
can freely participate in sports without the interference of glasses or bother of contacts.
Eye irritation or dryness, sometimes associated with contact lens wear due to outside dust and pollutants, is eliminated.

How Paragon CRT works ?

Let's understand how 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. When eyeglasses or contacts are worn, light is focused on the retina so you can see clearly.

Laser surgery is another way to correct myopia. It permanently alters the cornea and corrects the focal point, producing clear vision.

Today, Corneal Refractive Therapy provides a new option for patients. Paragon CRT lenses correct myopia, with or without
low or moderate astigmatism, by gently reshaping the cornea while you sleep.

When the Paragon CRT lenses are removed in the morning, the treated cornea allows light to focus on the retina.
The result is clear, natural vision for all or most of your waking hours.

Can everyone wear Paragon CRT ?

Not everyone can wear Paragon CRT. This lens is designed for individuals with low to moderate myopia(nearsightedness up to -6.00 diopters) with or without astigmatism(up to -1.75 diopters). Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses are not yet available in bifocal prescriptions for presbyopia(which requires reading glasses or bifocals). At your doctor's discretion you may be fitted in a monovision mode(one eye corrected for near vision and one corrected for distance vision). You might still need reading glasses. However, since there are variations in patient physiology and visual needs, the decision for CRT, at any age, can only be made after a thorough eye exam and the recommendations of the eye care professional. At this time, hyperopia(farsightedness) is not correctable with CRT.

How likely is it that Paragon CRT will work for me ?

Of the 159 eyes targeted for 20/20 vision
(who had this acuity with their best spectacles), 59% obtained 20/20 or better without other correction and 92% obtained 20/40 or better at
9 months. (20/40 vision is the acuity required in most states to drive without glasses).
67% Of the subjects obtained 20/20 vision in
at least one eye (their better seeing eye)
and 94% achieved 20/40.
