How CRT or Ortho-K Lenses Stop Myopia in Its Tracks

Imagine waking up each morning with clear vision—no glasses, no daytime contact lenses, just the freedom to see your world clearly. With Paragon CRT lenses from Accurate Family Vision, this is possible. These advanced lenses not only provide crisp vision during the day, but they also help slow the progression of myopia, ensuring healthier eyes for the future.

What Are CRT/Ortho-K Lenses?

Paragon CRT (Corneal Refractive Therapy) lenses, or Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) lenses, are specially designed rigid contact lenses. They're worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea to correct vision temporarily.

When you wake up and remove the lenses, your vision will be clear, allowing you to do your daily routine without relying on glasses or daytime contacts. This non-invasive approach is a unique way to manage myopia effectively, especially for children whose myopia has yet to stabilize.

How Do CRT/Ortho-K Lenses Work?

The process of wearing these advanced lenses is quite simple and effective:

1. Nighttime Wear: The lenses are worn while you sleep. During this time, they apply gentle pressure to reshape the cornea, correcting the way light focuses on your retina.
2. Daytime Freedom: After removing the lenses in the morning, the cornea retains its new shape. The result is clear vision throughout the day without glasses or contacts.
3. Continuous Benefits: Regular use of CRT/Ortho-K lenses slows the progression of myopia in children and teens.

Who Can Benefit from CRT/Ortho-K Lenses?

These lenses are ideal for:

• Children and Teens with Myopia: For young people whose myopia is yet to settle, Ortho-K slows the progression of myopia. This reduces the risk of long-term complications like retinal detachment or glaucoma.
• Active Individuals: Whether you play sports, enjoy outdoor activities, or prefer not to wear glasses or contacts, these lenses are a great fit for you.
• Adults Seeking Non-Surgical Vision Correction: Ortho-K lenses are a great alternative to LASIK for those who prefer a non-invasive approach to vision correction.
