Myopia continues to grow at an epidemic rate in the United States and around the world. At the same time, disruptive technologies and the corresponding shift in patient behavior, who now purchase eye exams and commodities such as eyeglasses and daytime contact lenses online, threaten to make the traditional approach to optometry obsolete.
Making the decision to incorporate myopia treatment with Paragon CRT® into your practice will distinguish your practice and also provide you with a favorable and sustainable margin.
Ortho-K (short for Orthokeratology) is a non-surgical solution for patients with myopia that uses specially designed contact lenses (such as Paragon CRT® lenses) to improve vision.
When worn overnight, Paragon CRT® contact lenses gently correct the curvature of the cornea, resulting in a corneal shape that focuses light correctly on the retina. When removed in the morning, distant objects come back into focus and patients can see clearly without the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day. It will take 7 to 14 days of treatment to achieve unaided vision throughout the day.
Paragon Vision Sciences is the only company that manufactures its own lens designs and lens materials (HDS 100). Both lens designs and material are FDA approved for nighttime use. 1 Paragon CRT® is the lens that sets the standard for contemporary orthokeratology.
What do patients say about their experience with Paragon CRT? In a recent study, 97.6% of Paragon CRT patients report that their experience meets or exceeds expectations. 2
