Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT)
Corneal Refractive Therapy (also called CRT and Orthokeratology) is a nonsurgical method of correcting vision without the use of glasses, daytime contact lenses, or surgery.
This safe and painless technique utilizes a special contact lens device that is worn at night while asleep.
During the night, the cornea (the clear covering of the eye) is gently reshaped so that light will focus correctly on the retina when the lenses are removed in the morning. Clear vision remains throughout the day.
CRT is an ideal treatment option for children and for those for whom LASIK is not an option. It is less expensive than LASIK, it is safe, and it is reversible!
Current research suggests that CRT slows down the progression of nearsightedness in children!
