At our center in Tampa, Florida, many patients benefit from Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT), a non-surgical procedure performed to reduce or correct myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism (irregular surface of the cornea) by gently reshaping the cornea. Patients who are not eligible for Lasik often make great candidates for Corneal Refractive Therapy. CRT is also beneficial for anyone who is not quite ready for the permanence of laser eye surgery. Instead of lasers, Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses are temporarily used to gently and safely reshape the corneal surface to create clear, natural vision. The lenses are very similar to standard contact lenses, but CRT lenses are only worn while you sleep.
Dr. Sal Musumeci is one of the top specialists for CRT in Tampa Bay, Florida. Corneal Refractive Therapy requires custom lenses, which will be created for you after a thorough examination. State-of-the-art computer systems are employed to measure the surface of your cornea, which is then used to create your Paragon CRT lenses.
Recent medical research combined with the latest corneal surface technology, computerized laboratory processing, and oxygen-breathing materials have brought new science to corneal refractive technology. Prado Vision and Lasik Center is pleased to introduce this CRT technology to the Tampa, Florida, area.
Paragon CRT lenses from Paragon Vision Sciences gently reshape the cornea while you sleep. When you wake up, simply remove your CRT lenses and enjoy clear vision for the remainder of the day. Corneal Refractive Therapy lenses deliver clear, crisp, comfortable vision throughout the day, even when you're not wearing them!
