Corenal refractive therapy is for people who are nearsighted and is especially appealing to people who engage in sports, who have issues with long term daytime contact use, and who are not eligible for LASIK. Nearsightedness is caused by light coming through the cornea in a way that does not allow it to focus properly on the retina. Generally this refocusing of light is fixed by the use of eyeglasses or contacts. Another way to solve this issue is to reshape the cornea in a way that the cornea is flattened. LASIK offers a surgical solution and corneal refractive therapy lenses flatten the cornea without lenses resulting in sharper, clearer vision.

One of the benefits of corneal refractive therapy is the elimination of glasses or daytime contacts. Good vision can be achieved as early as the first day but can take up to 14 days to see full results. You can participate in sports or enjoy a day without the irritation of contacts. Corneal refractive therapy is temporary and only lasts the day. After each use, the lenses should be chemically disinfected. Also, the process is completely reversible after discontinued use.
