Dr. Miller and Ziel's daughter has been wearing the CRT Paragon lenses now for 12 years and she loves them! She wears them at night and takes them out in the morning and has crystal clear vision. It makes her life easier by not relying on glasses. It's also great to know that her prescription is stable thanks to these amazing specialized contacts.
Paragon CRT (Corneal Refractive Therapy) is a FDA-approved specially designed gas permeable contact lens that reshapes the cornea while you sleep. Imagine clear vision all day at school, at work, or playing your favorite sport without the hassle of wearing glasses or contact lenses (during the day). CRT lenses are just not for kids, but also work great for most adults who are perfect candidates. |

Myopia (nearsightedness) typically begins to develop in childhood and often progresses until about age 20. It is a condition where individuals are able to see objects that are close to them, but not far away objects such as street signs, leaves on a tree, or a teacher writing on a white board at the front of the classroom. Nearsightedness puts excessive strain on the eyes, resulting in symptoms like headaches, fatigue, blurry vision, and squinting. These symptoms can begin as early as the age of six years-old!
Currently, there is no known cure for myopia and slowing the progression is important to help reduce the risk of developing serious eye conditions later in life such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and myopic macular degeneration. It is estimated that by year 2050, roughly half of the world's population will be affected by this eye condition. Many researchers believe that the rise in myopia can be due to more time spending staring at screens and less time outdoors.
We live in exciting times where we have effective FDA -approved methods of controlling the progression of myopia. With Paragon Crt lenses, your child or anyone who is a candidate can be free of the hassle of everyday vision correction and simultaneously lower the risk of future visual conditions.
