I've been using CRT lenses (Score 3, Informative)

I started using CRT contact lenses in december of 2003. I had been using -4.5 and -4 contacts in my left and right eyes respectively and within a few days of wearing the paragon CRT lenses my vision was perfect.

Here is my list of pros and cons from wearing them for 7 months

+ They actually give me perfect vision for most of the day.
+ No pain or surgeries.
+ Your vision can return to normal in about 2 weeks if you don't like them.

- I'm used to soft contacts, these felt like rocks at first. Even now they are uncomfortable to wear if I am active and about doing stuff.
- I sometimes sleep with my eyes open so these things dry to my eyeballs and it gets difficult to take them off in the morning, a few times I had to flush my eyes with contact solution for 15 minutes to loosen them up.
- At night, my vision fades a bit and I see halos around light sources , esp car headlights. Since the lenses don't cover the entire cornea, my periphial vision (everything else besides what I'm directly looking at gets a bit fuzzy) This is the suckiest thing about them.
- I've been to see my eye doctor many times since december for checkups. He has switched my lense prescriptions 3 times because the current pair wasn't a perfect fit anymore.
- Expensive

Despite all the negatives, I'd highly recommend the paragon CRT lenses for anyone who is considering lasik or who is fed up with regular contact lenses. The convenience of perfect vision during the day is way worth the price and hassle of fussing with contacts at night.

In my case, I sleep with my eyes open plus I get dry eyes when I wear contacts however 4 out of 5 days my vision is 20/20 or better. The other 1 out of 5 days my left or right eye is off a bit. Its annoying but I get used to it for a few hours and usually the eye somehow corrects itself in the early afternoon.
