Downloadable Digital Tool Designed to Enhance Confidence in First-Time Specialty Fitters
SAN RAMON, Calif., February 24, 2021—CooperVision Specialty EyeCare today launched its innovative Paragon CRT® Software for eye care professionals (ECPs). The easy-to-understand, topography-guided tool includes several features aimed at simplifying the fitting process for first-time CRT® and CRT® Dual Axis contact lens prescribers.
With a few on-screen clicks, ECPs will be able to seamlessly change lens parameters, assess fluorescein patterns of different lenses on the same patient, and see simulated lens changes on a patients’ eye prior to ordering warranty exchanges. In addition, ECPs can upload patient topography maps and customize CRT® and CRT® Dual Axis lenses for each patient.
The software is available to download at ecp.paragonvision.com/software.
“As trends and demands continue to change, it’s imperative for us to deepen our partnership with the specialty eye care community. Part of strengthening our clinical relationships and enhancing our support for the industry is to listen and evolve our portfolio and related tools,” said Dr. Juan Carlos Aragón, President, CooperVision Specialty EyeCare. “With the introduction of Paragon CRT® Software, ECPs can more confidently fit our lenses on hard-to-fit patients, and ultimately, grow their practice.”
Paragon CRT® is recommended for patients with <0.75D of corneal astigmatism based on keratometry values. CRT Dual Axis® is designed for patients with >0.75D of corneal astigmatism based on keratometry values to enhance the cornea-to-fitting relationship.
The innovative Paragon CRT Dual Axis® lens is designed specifically for patients with greater than 0.75D of corneal astigmatism and is the go-to lens for many of the world's top fitters1.
