No More Glasses - and its NOT Lasik Surgery!
We offer an amazing overnight correction of vision which may allow you to dispose of your glasses and/or contact lenses. This is an FDA approved non-surgical alternative to LASIK (approved for all ages).
"This CRT is the most amazing non-surgical method of vision correction I have seen in my 30-plus years as an eyecare professional," said Dr. Wayne Fuller of Fuller Optical, who is one of the few optometrists in the Cullman area offering the new treatment.
The FDA-approved method uses special contact lenses worn only at night to reshape the eye's cornea, correcting nearsightedness and mild astigmatism.
"There are wing cells in the epithelium of the cornea," he said. "As you sleep (wearing the CRT lenses), these wing cells migrate peripherally and this allows the cornea to change shape, like LASIK."
According to Paragon, the treatment can take anywhere up to two weeks to take full effect. Fuller said he provides temporary soft contact lenses in appropriate prescriptions to his patients during the transitional period as their eyesight improves. The CRT lenses themselves still function like regular contact lenses if a patient has to get up at night.
The therapy is approved for nearsightedness up to 6.00 diopters and astigmatism of up to 1.75 diopters.
