SLEEP YOUR WAY TO BETTER VISION WITH CORNEAL REFRACTIVE THERAPY (CRT)!

Overnight wear of CRT contact lenses for the reduction or nearsightedness has Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Studies conducted by Paragon Vision Sciences, the developer and patent holder for CRT, and submitted to the FDA have shown the procedure to be safe and effective. Currently the FDA mandates that eye care practitioners be trained and certified specifically in fitting and prescribing Paragon Corneal Refractive Therapy lenses.

WHAT IS CRT? CRT uses uniquely designed contact lenses to reshape the cornea with a resultant reduction in your need for glasses or contacts. Rigid contact lenses have been used for many years, with varying success, to reshape the cornea and reduce nearsightedness. CRT is a new fitting method that provides more predictable results. The corneal tissue is changed in shape without alteration of its physiology. CRT is effective, non-invasive, and reversible. No long-term negative side effects were found in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clinical studies.

WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM CRT? Patients who want an effective, predictable, non-invasive, and reversible procedure. Patients who are averse to laser vision correction. Young patients that are not good candidates for refractive surgery. Nearsighted patients with corrections less than -6.00 and have less than -1.00 of astigmatism. Patients interested in a more economical alternative to laser vision correction. Patients who want to be free of glasses or contact lenses during daily life.

DR. CLARK JENSEN IS ONE OF ONLY 48 CERTIFIED CRT DOCTORS IN IOWA.. Dr. Clark Jensen has been certified in CRT since March of 2001. He has successfully fit more CRT patients than any other practitioner in the state. He has gained valuable experience as he has helped Paragon refine their fitting system and fitting sets. No one in Iowa can give you a better CRT result than Dr. Jensen. He is involoved with CRT on a national level by being a board member and treasurer of the American Society of Corneal and Refractive Technologies (ASCRT).

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY ABOUT CRT

"I have had tremendous success with CRT. CRT is great for sports, and water activities. You don't have to worry about your contacts drying out or falling out during school." Jacob

"The reason I like CRT is the fact that I don't have to wear glasses all day long. I only wear my CRT lenses seven to eight hours a night and I am good to go the next day. I especially like them in the summer because I think glasses are hot and always seem to be getting smudged up. For someone who doesn't want to worry about the risks with LASIK, this is a great way to go." Linda

"I just wanted to thank you for not giving up on my goal and dreams of not having to wear glasses. You worked very hard, switching my lenses so that I am able to see without glasses. It still amazes me that a contact could and did correct my vision." Sherri

"I use to get eye infections all the time from wearing my contacts too long. But, now with CRT I can stay up late studying and hanging out with my friends and still see clearly-infection free!" Sarah
