CRT is for people of any age who are
nearsighted. |
|
The FDA has approved
CRT for people with up to six diopters of myopia (-6.00 on your
prescription); you may also have up to -1.75 diopters of
astigmatism. The CRT procedures can be performed on practically
anyone of any age, with healthy eyes.

Not everyone can wear
Paragon CRT. Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses are not yet available
for those who require reading glasses or bifocals (presbyopia). You
may be fitted in a monovision mode (one eye corrected for near
vision and one corrected for distance vision). You might still need
reading glasses. However, since there are many variations in patient
physiology and visual needs, the decision for CRT, at any age, can
only be made after a thorough eye exam by us. At this time,
farsightedness (hyperopia) is not correctable with CRT.
