What is Corneal Refractive Therapy or CRT?
Corneal Refractive Therapy is a relatively new treatment that uses contact lenses to reduce nearsightedness (technically called myopia). You wear a special type of contact lens that gently reshapes your eye so that you can see clearly even after you remove the lens. Generally, you sleep in the lenses and take them out in the morning. The reshaping is temporary, but generally it lasts long enough so that you can see during the day without glasses or regular contacts. In effect, you switch your ‘normal’ routine. Instead of taking your contacts out before you go to bed and putting them in each morning, you do just the opposite.
