FDA approval includes candidates with up to –6D sphere and –1.75D cylinder. Corneal refractive therapy is safe, effective, predictable and reversible.

This system is backed by a comprehensive clinical study in the United States involving eleven investigational sites and 205 patients. The study involved overnight lens wear only and patient follow up was for nine months. Over 93% of the study participants were soft contact lens wearers or non-contact lens wearers. As part of the FDA study patients completed a vision satisfaction questionnaire rating their vision before and after treatment with Paragon CRT lenses for corneal refractive therapy. The results were as follows: 91.7% of post treatment patients rated their unaided vision as good, very good or excellent compared to a rating of 91.3% for their pre treatment habitual correction.

Paragon CRT lenses are manufactured in Paragon HDS 100 a super high DK material cleared by the FDA for up to seven days extended wear.

Paragon CRT for Corneal Refractive Therapy is prescribed through a diagnostic dispensing system utilizing routine clinical data: patient refraction, corneal measurement and fluorescein pattern evaluation.

The Paragon CRT Diagnostic Dispensing System includes 100 lenses with a range of parameters carefully selected based on outcomes analysis of successful patient data. Practitioners can expect to successfully dispense and begin immediate treatment on four out of five patients directly from their 100 lens diagnostic dispensing inventory. Corneal refractive therapy patient management is topography driven. Baseline corneal information, support for initial diagnostic lens selection and effective patient follow up are best achieved with corneal topography.

The Paragon CRT System is backed up by a great deal of literature and full access to technical advice.
