Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) CRT is a method for temporarily correcting Myopia through lenses that are worn overnight to reshape the cornea Allows users to forgo glasses or contacts the next morning

Myopia “Nearsightedness” is a condition where a person cannot see distant objects clearly without glasses This results from spending a lot of time on computers, watching television, and reading books Corneal Epithelium Layer of cells that cover the surface of the cornea

Flurophotometry A useful clinical method that measures the levels of fluorescein in the eye to determine corneal epithelial permeability in which the Fluorotron Master™ Diopters A measurement of the power of a lens

Purpose To investigate whether extended use of CRT lenses has a significant impact on the health of the cornea through the use of fluorophotometry

Extended use of CRT lenses will not significantly affect corneal permeability Hypothesis

Methods 1. Obtained Approval from Review Board 2. Put up Flyers around the Mount Sinai Hospital and the surrounding neighborhood 3. Screening Sessions for qualification( 18 patients with refractive errors between -0.5 to diopter 4. Full length eye exam to see health before the use of CRT lenses 5. Day of Fitting: baseline readings taken by the Fluorotron Master

Methods Continued 6. Washed eyes with standard Saline after twenty minutes 7. Two post wash scans were taken of each eye 8. Peak corneal florescence values were measured by fluorophotmetry (indicated epithelial permeability 9. Subsequent scans of the cornea taken one day, one week, one month, and three months after the initial fittings 10. Compared pre-fitting values to changes

Results After nightly use of CRT – Post CRT incorrected visual acuity was 20/20 or better in 15 of 18 patients by day 7 Conclusion CRT is effective in correcting myopic refractive errors

Future Studies This study is ongoing and longer follow up data will be analyzed
