Corneal Refractive Therapy

If your child is nearsighted, their eyewear is crucial for vision restoration. However, traditional contacts and eyeglasses only address the symptoms of myopia, not its underlying causes. Untreated myopia can increase the risk of eye diseases in later life. Specialty eyewear, such as CRT contact lenses, is designed to maintain the eye’s natural shape and prevent myopia from progressing. Let our team of experts guide you toward a lasting solution.

What is CRT?

Myopia causes the eyes to elongate, resembling a football rather than maintaining their spherical shape. Reverting the eye to its proper shape is done through a process called corneal molding, which is where a special Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) lens sits directly on the eye. CRT lenses are hard contact lenses worn overnight to retain the eye’s round shape and slow myopia’s symptoms, allowing for clear vision during the day without additional eyewear.

Relief and Unparalleled Comfort with CRT Contact Lenses

Over a long period of time, CRT lenses can reduce myopia’s progression and offer long-term protection against eye diseases like cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and more.

The benefits can impact your child’s education and social life, too — whether they play sports or have personal reasons for avoiding eyeglasses — children who wear CRT lenses love avoiding eyewear during the day, which in turn can lead to higher confidence and better school performance.

Treatments

Proper myopia management comes down to finding the right treatment type for your child. Corneal molding has proven to be effective — we offer specialty contact lenses to add corneal molding to your treatment plan, which can help stall myopia’s progression.

Ortho-K Lenses

Orthokeratology (or Ortho-K) are often known as “eye retainers,” because they are worn at night while you sleep and help the eye hold its shape. They let the wearer enjoy clear vision during the day without corrective eyewear like glasses or contacts, and they are an excellent myopia management tool.
