CRT

Paragon Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT)

Paragon corneal refractive therapy (CRT) is a specially designed therapeutic contact lens worn during sleeping hours to reshape the cornea without permanently altering its physiology - which is important, as the eyes of children and teens are still maturing. Your child simply wears the lenses at night and takes them out in the morning, the result is clear vision the whole day - in class, at practice and while doing homework.
