Paragon CRT® celebrates its tenth FDA approval anniversary this month, while approaching two million worldwide patients who wear corneal reshaping lenses. An estimated fifty-five percent of CRT lenses are prescribed for children between the ages of eight and eighteen. Practitioners worldwide are focused on CRT as an accepted standard of care for consumers who want to avoid wearing glasses or day time contacts, are underage or averse to surgery, are soft contact lens drop-outs, or suffer from end-of-day discomfort or dryness. CRT addresses all of these needs and is easy to use and maintain. "The global myopia epidemic keeps myopia regulation with CRT at the forefront of Paragon's research efforts. After a decade of post-FDA clearance, Paragon CRT, Paragon CRT Dual Axis® and the recent release of Paragon CRT fitting software provide vision correction options to those affected with myopia", said Joe Sicari, President and CEO of Paragon Vision Sciences. An increasing number of CRT certified optometrists are making Paragon CRT a "first choice" technology for the world's expanding number of myopes. Researchers estimate that by 2020, the number of people with myopia will grow to one-third of the world's population, from 1.6 billion to a staggering 2.5 billion people. Paragon CRT® is a product of Paragon Vision Sciences, a leading manufacturer of advanced gas permeable materials used to produce contact lenses. For over 30 years, the company has been at the forefront of research and development, including a 10-year R&D project with NASA involving studies aboard three Space Shuttle missions. This project led to the development of the technology behind the oxygen-permeable material used in the manufacture of Paragon CRT®. All operations are conducted in compliance with the FDA regulations. |
