Dr. Chudner using the Paragon CRT scanner to help a patient

From “I left my glasses on the bus” to “I dropped a contact in the cafeteria,” you’ve heard them all as a parent. As an adult, admit it, you’re sick and tired of carrying your glasses everywhere you go and wearing contacts on all day wears on you as well. Not to mention what a paid it is when you break your frames, scratch your lenses, or lose a contact. Day in and day out, doesn’t it just seem like glasses and daytime contacts are becoming more of a problem?

Well, now you can lose both your glasses and your contacts for good. With Paragon CRT®, you or your child can enjoy crystal clear vision all day just by wearing therapeutic contact lenses at night. No more glasses. No more daytime contacts. Just clear vision without surgery. How can that be?

Corneal refractive therapy is a non-surgical process that reshapes the cornea of your eye while you sleep without permanently altering its physiology. This is especially important for children and teenagers as their eyes are still maturing. You simply remove the lenses when you wake up and go the whole day with clear vision.

Locally, Paragon CRT is being offered by optometric physician Dr. Benjamin Chudner of the Eye and Contact Lens Clinic in Bremerton. He says, “Paragon CRT is especially great for teenagers, especially those participating in school sports.” According to Chudner, most patients see dramatic improvement in the first few days with complete vision correction in one to two weeks, and the process is also a reversible alternative to Laser surgery.

Paragon CRT treats nearsightedness (myopia) with or without minor astigmatism. And because there are no age restrictions, it may make sense for you or your children. However, Chudner cautions that the ultimate decision needs to be made between each individual patient and their eye doctor.
