Dr. Edward Boshnick - Corneal Refractive Therapy Expert

Correcting vision problems doesn’t always require invasive surgery or continuous use of corrective eyewear. Dr. Edward Boshnick employs a groundbreaking technology known as Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) with Paragon CRT® contact lenses to provide a safe, non-surgical approach to improving vision.

Understanding Corneal Refractive Therapy

Corneal Refractive Therapy, also known as Orthokeratology or “Ortho-K,” is a process that uses specially designed contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. Paragon CRT® lenses are worn during sleep, and they gently reshape the cornea overnight. Upon waking and removing the lenses, the newly formed corneal shape allows for clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.

The Advantages of CRT with Paragon CRT®

The foremost advantage of Corneal Refractive Therapy with Paragon CRT® is its non-invasive nature. Unlike surgical procedures like LASIK, CRT does not involve any cutting or permanent alteration of the eye. It’s a safe and reversible method of vision correction that is ideal for a wide range of patients, including children and adults who are not good candidates for eye surgery.

Paragon CRT® lenses are specifically designed to allow oxygen to pass through, ensuring that the eyes remain healthy and comfortable throughout the night. They are also easy to care for, requiring only regular cleaning and disinfection.

This therapy is particularly beneficial for people with myopia (nearsightedness). By correcting the vision overnight, it provides clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses. This can be a game-changer for people who participate in sports or those who work in environments where eyewear can be a hindrance.

Proven Results

The effectiveness of Corneal Refractive Therapy with Paragon CRT® is well-documented. Many patients achieve 20/20 vision after starting the therapy, and most will have their vision improved to 20/40 or better, which is the legal vision requirement for driving in most regions.

In Conclusion

Corneal Refractive Therapy with Paragon CRT® represents a revolution in non-surgical vision correction. It’s a testament to Dr. Boshnick’s commitment to providing the latest and most effective treatments to his patients. Whether you’re an adult seeking a safe alternative to LASIK, a parent considering vision correction options for your child, or a sportsperson wanting unencumbered vision, Corneal Refractive Therapy with Paragon CRT® could be the answer you’re looking for.

Remember, your vision is a crucial aspect of your quality of life. Trust Dr. Boshnick and his innovative use of Corneal Refractive Therapy with Paragon CRT® to provide the effective, non-invasive vision correction solution you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Paragon CRT system?

Paragon CRT is a specific type of corneal refractive therapy. The Paragon CRT system uses a unique, oxygen-permeable therapeutic lens designed to temporarily reshape the cornea while you sleep, leading to clear vision during the day.

Is Corneal Refractive Therapy with Paragon CRT safe?

Yes, when supervised by an experienced optometrist, CRT with Paragon is safe. It is a non-surgical and reversible treatment. However, like all contact lens use, there is a small risk of infection or other complications.

Who is an ideal candidate for Paragon CRT?

Paragon CRT is particularly effective for individuals with mild to moderate myopia (nearsightedness). It’s also a great option for those who are not candidates for or uncomfortable with the idea of refractive surgery. However, suitability can only be determined by a comprehensive eye exam.

What can I expect during the CRT process with Paragon lenses?

The CRT process begins with a thorough eye examination. If you’re a suitable candidate, your optometrist will take detailed measurements of your corneas to customize the Paragon CRT lenses. You’ll be instructed on how to insert, remove, and care for these lenses. Regular follow-ups will ensure the treatment is working correctly, and adjustments can be made as necessary.
