Many people wear for short sightedness or myopia. They are a great way to correct your eyesight without having to wear glasses. Many others choose to have their vision improved by having laser eye surgery. But there is a way to make your vision better without having to start the day by putting on glasses or and without having to have surgery.
There is such a technique called corneal refractive therapy contact lenses, not the most easily to remember name, but a great advance in eye care for Myopia. At present there are only few manufacturers making the new corneal refractive therapy contact lenses, although the product is still fairly new to the market.
Corneal refractive therapy have been around for some time now but were never really very effective or popular. Recently there have been advances in the technique and it is now much more effective and user friendly and as a result is quickly gaining popularity. Corneal refractive therapy are still fairly traditional looking but with a particular difference. They are not worn during the day when the sight usually needs to be corrected, but are used at night. This may seem somewhat unusual but is in fact a very simple idea.
These new lenses help reduce the effects of Myopia by flattening the cornea at the front of the eye slightly, so allowing light to go more directly to the cornea without being dispersed, in much the same way that glasses or traditional do. This allows the eye to receive a much clearer image
