Paragon CRT®

The Benchmark in Corneal Reshaping

Paragon CRT is a unique oxygen permeable therapeutic contact lens designed to temporarily correct myopia and moderate levels of astigmatism by gently reshaping the cornea during sleep. Patients remove the contact lenses in the morning and go throughout the day without any other correction.

Paragon CRT Diagnostic Dispensing System is more than a fitting set. This 100 lens set allows you to dispense an estimated four out of five qualified patients on their first visit. If the first lens needs adjustments during the fitting process, the next lens is often already in your dispensing system. This saves chair time and patient visits, provides more immediate patient satisfaction, and helps control your cost of goods. However, in order to receive the Diagnostic Dispensing System you need to be trained, tested and certified to fit Paragon CRT by Paragon Vision Sciences, Inc.

The Paragon CRT lens is ideal for:

  • Patients with up to –6.00D of myopia and up to –1.75D of astigmatism.

Generally, the easiest to fit cases are under –4.50D, but myopes up to –6.00D have experienced great success.
