Freedom from Glasses: Discover the Benefits of Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT)

Are you tired of relying on glasses or contact lenses to see clearly? Imagine waking up every morning with crisp, clear vision without reaching for your eyewear. Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) offers a life-changing solution for those seeking freedom from glasses and daytime contact lenses. At Advanced Vision Institute, we’re proud to provide this innovative treatment that helps patients achieve clearer vision while preserving their active lifestyles.

What is Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT)?

Corneal Refractive Therapy is a non-surgical vision correction method that uses specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. These lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, the clear front surface of your eye, correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia) while you sleep. Once the lenses are removed in the morning, the reshaped cornea allows for clear vision throughout the day—no glasses or daytime contacts needed!
 

How Does CRT Work?

The CRT lenses apply gentle pressure to the cornea while you sleep, temporarily altering its shape to improve how light is focused on the retina. This process is completely reversible, making it a safe alternative to permanent surgical options like LASIK. The effects of CRT typically last a full day, allowing you to enjoy clear vision from morning until bedtime.
 

Who Can Benefit from CRT?

CRT is ideal for:
 

• Individuals with mild to moderate nearsightedness who want to avoid glasses or daytime contact lenses.
   

• Children and teens with progressive myopia, as CRT can slow the progression of myopia, potentially reducing the risk of eye health complications later in life.
   

• Active individuals and athletes who need clear vision without the inconvenience of glasses or contact lenses during their activities.
   

• Those not ready or suitable for LASIK but seeking freedom from traditional eyewear.
   

The Benefits of CRT

1. Freedom from Glasses and Contacts
Experience hassle-free vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day. CRT lenses are worn only at night, giving you the freedom to enjoy your daily activities without worry.
 

2. Non-Surgical and Reversible
Unlike LASIK, CRT is non-invasive and completely reversible. If you decide to stop CRT, your corneas will gradually return to their original shape.
 

3. Control Myopia Progression
CRT has been shown to slow the progression of myopia in children, helping to protect their long-term eye health.
 

4. Convenience for Active Lifestyles
For athletes, swimmers, or anyone who finds glasses and contacts cumbersome, CRT provides a practical solution that fits seamlessly into an active lifestyle.
 

5. Safe and Comfortable
CRT lenses are custom-fitted by an experienced optometrist to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Regular follow-up appointments help maintain optimal results and eye health.
 

What to Expect During the CRT Process

The process begins with a comprehensive eye exam to determine if CRT is right for you. If you’re a candidate, your optometrist will take detailed measurements of your cornea to create customized lenses. You’ll wear the lenses overnight and start seeing improvement in your vision within days. Full correction usually takes 1–2 weeks. We will provide thorough training on lens care and handling, and we’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure the best possible results.
