Corneal Refractive Therapy---Known as CRT
Imagine waking up in the morning, taking out your contact lenses and then seeing clearly all day with out corrective lenses. Imagine having the opportunity to reverse the process with no ill effects. CRT provides patients with a non-surgical option to do just that.
Good vision for work, school and sports is essential to top performance. Problems with contact lenses or poor fitting glasses should not hinder great performances.
Paragon CRT provides healthy, sharp vision without daytime glasses or contact lenses. These revolutionary lenses gently shape the corneal while you sleep to provide sharp vision all day without the need of wearing contact lenses or glasses. Paragon CRT is approved for all ages and, in fact, is the only recommended procedure for children.
Our practice is actively involved in refractive surgery. Still, we find that many adult patients who ask about refractive surgery may not be good candidates for the surgery. Paragon CRT offers them another option. It is ideal for fulfilling the needs of patients who want freedom from contacts and/or spectacles, but may be hesitant about having a surgical procedure to correct their vision.
The technique of corneal reshaping has been utilized for over 40 years. Paragon CRT lens techniques received FDA approval in January 2002 as an overnight therapy. Dr. Richard Marrotte was the first Paragon CRT certified eyecare professional in Boca Raton in March 2002 and is available to come to speak to your teams, athletes and parents about the safety and benefits of CRT.
Why Paragon CRT lenses?
Paragon CRT lenses are manufactured from HDS 100, which is approved by the FDA for up to 7 nights of continuous wear and transmit more oxygen to the cornea than most soft contact lenses.
Wake up to great vision! No more dried out contacts after 6 or 7 hours of work. No more lost or broken glasses. Enjoy the ability to see all day, every day with no daytime correction. The future of great vision is here.
What our patients are saying:
Rebecca, age 16
"I have been enrolled in the CRT Therapy Program for about a year and 3 months." "...at first it felt unusual because you aren't used to having lenses in at night and my eyes seemed to be dry but in no time I got used to it." "The CRT lenses have changed my life because I can walk outside now and see perfectly without the hassle of glasses or daytime contact lenses."
Jill, age 38
"I run marathon races. Whenever I used to wear my soft contact lenses, they would fog up and become uncomfortable when I ran. With the CRT lenses, problem solved. I wake up in the morning, take out my lenses and no worries."
Olivia, age 11
"I absolutely love my contacts. When I went to the Keys on a class trip, I could see everything in the coral reefs without having to worry about contact lenses in my eyes. With my old contacts they would irritate my eyes and I had trouble running or playing sports because of the wind hitting them. Now I feel nothing and sleep through the whole thing. I dont have to worry about losing them at school or anywhere else exept my bathroom!"
