Corneal Refractive Therapy

Corneal refractive therapy may be described as a non-surgical process. The process has been clinically developed in order to reshape the cornea.

This is ensured when a person is sleeping. This leads to temporary correction of the myopia and this can be ensured either with or without moderate astigmatism. It is possible to resurface the shape of the cornea by making use of the Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses. These are useful in gently reshaping the corneal surface and thus it also ensures to provide clear and natural vision to an individual. This refractive therapy is a sophisticated yet a non-surgical process. Once this therapy has been accomplished, there is no need for different vision correction aids such as spectacles or contact lenses, etc. This procedure has been actually approved by the US FDA and is thus an approved corneal reshaping method or procedure. The procedure is also useful in temporarily reducing myopia or correcting myopia. The procedure was approved in the year 2002. The method of correction of myopia can be achieved by the use of overnight wear of specialist designed gas permeable lenses. This can lead to redistribution and compression of the corneal epithelium. This leads to decrease in reconfiguration of epithelium and this results in redistribution of the refractive power
