CRT Specialty Contact Lenses

CRT, short for corneal refractive therapy, requires that a patient wear a specialized contact lens at night while sleeping. The contact lens is removed in the morning, ensuring the patient can proceed with the day with corrected vision that does not require the use of glasses or contact lenses. This unique treatment method really does have the potential to correct your vision problems. CRT lenses are particularly helpful for little ones who do not want to wear glasses or contact lenses to see properly. If you are interested in CRT lenses, reach out to our office today at (812) 346-2020 to schedule an informative consultation.

CRT lenses are comparably rigid, serving to reshape the front section of the eye known as the cornea as the patient sleeps. The cornea maintains the altered shape after the lens is removed in the morning, ultimately correcting the patient’s vision. Though patients are advised against sleeping with contact lenses in the eyes, the use of CRT lenses is perfectly safe. These unique contact lenses are specially designed to be worn during the nighttime hours as they are made with an oxygen permeable material that ensures the eye has the proper level of oxygen throughout the night. This way, you can wear lenses while sleeping for eight hours rather than being reliant upon contact lenses for 16 hours during the day.
