Corneal refractive therapy

Are you feeling constrained by vision options that get in the way of your active lifestyle and may cause discomfort? The Contact Lens Store @ Park Nicollet now offers another possibility—corneal refractive therapy (CRT).

CRT is a non-surgical process, which involves wearing therapeutic gas permeable lenses that are similar to standard contact lenses. Lenses, worn only while you sleep, reshape the cornea to correct nearsightedness. This means no supplies to tote during the day and little cause for eye irritation or dryness due to outside dust and pollutants.

Take a couple of simple steps to help determine if you are a suitable candidate for CRT.

• Check your eyewear prescription to see if your correction is for nearsightedness up to -6 diopters.
  
• Make sure you have had your eyes examined within the last 12 months.

If you need help interpreting your prescription or if you would simply like more information about CRT, call our contact lens customer service desk at 952-993-1512.
