Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) lenses are super high oxygen gas permeable lenses worn while you sleep to eliminate your astigmatism and myopia.

Upon waking, the lenses are removed, and patients should see 20/20 for most of the day. CRT lenses may be fitted after a comprehensive eye exam. Special training for insertion, removal and caring of these lenses as well as followup is provided with the program. Adults and children will benefit from freedom from contacts and glasses while they play sports and swim. FDA approved for children and adults who have myopia up to -6.00 and astigmatism up to -2.00.

This is a great alternative to lasik since it is completely reversible.

As with conventional RGP lens use, we see a slowing of the myopia progression with CRT lens use in youths.

CRT is a valuable therapy to use from childhood until adulthood ... at which point patients may consider lasik surgery to permanently reduce their myopia and astigmatism.
