Do you have trouble seeing without your glasses? If so, you might be thinking about getting rid of your eyeglasses or contact lenses. But, before you do so, check out the promises of eye braces. Eye braces promise to correct your vision without surgery - while you sleep.

And so who are the most suitable patients for these eye braces?

Well, young adolescent teenagers may be good candidates. As a lot of information on laser eye surgery studies show, a number of very good eye surgeons will refuse to operate on a teenager or a person under 18 or 21 because the body, including the eyes. may still be growing and changing. At those ages, they doctor may legitimately determine that the risk is not worth it and rule out corrective eye surgery altogether. In this case, eye braces, may be a good alternative.

Those people to whom price is important, will also like eye braces. The cost of CRT lenses is much less than the cost of laser eye surgery.

All of this is not to say that braces have no negatives. The braces have to be hard, in order to reshape the cornea. That can cause them to be uncomfortable to wear. And although most people will get used to them, many have difficulty adjusting.

In addition, even though it happens relatively infrequent, the wearing of contact lenses, does increase the risk of microbial infections of the eye.

In addition, unlike with cosmetic laser eye surgery, there have been no long term studies of the effect of wearing eye braces on a nightly basis for an extended period of time.

So if you want CRT lenses how do you get them? You can’t just go into an eye doctor’s office and order them. A CRT lens has to be prescribed by a doctor who has been certified in CRT lenses.

One of the most popular things that these eye braces have to offer people, is an opportunity for them to be able to see clearly without glasses and without having to go through the dangers of surgery. For many people this alone is enough to be thankful for.
