If your nearsighted, with or without some astigmatism, you may be a candidate for a non-surgical way to correct your vision: Paragon CRT® (Corneal Refractive Therapy).

CRT is a method of reshaping the cornea of your eye by wearing a specially designed rigid, gas permeable contact lens while you sleep. When you wake up, you remove the lens and enjoy clear vision all day long.

Paragon Corneal Refractive Therapy gives you the best of both worlds:

  • You don't need eyewear or contact lenses during waking hours.
  • It's non-surgical and completely reversible. If you decide to discontinue use, your vision will return to it's original state in as little as three days.
  • You'll have 24-hour vision, since you can see with Paragon CRT on or off.

 The Corneal Topography (CT) below shows a good outcome with the CRT lenses. The lenses are designed to reshape and flatten the center of your cornea resulting in little to no prescription. The surface cells that have been moved results in the red/orange rings. A CT is taken at each visit to monitor the treatement. Once vision is stable with the lenses, visits will be every 6 months,
