A while back, in the sixties, 2 doctors in California took note when they continued to hear similar stories from patients of theirs who were contact lenses. It seems as though many of them would get dressed, leave from home, drive to work and then halfway through the day notice that they were not wearing their contact lenses. And they were seeing perfectly well. It appeared that the constant wearing of the contact caused a gradual reshaping of their cornea, improving their ability to see. This chance discovery eventually led to experimentations and studies on shaping the eyes using contact lenses.

What exactly are Corrective eye braces? These braces, also formerly known as Corneal Refractive Therapy or CRT lenses, are hard contact lenses that act much as retainers or braces do on your teeth. The way the work is simple. You merely them on at night prior to going to bed. During the night, as you are sleeping, the CRT lenses slowly reshape the cornea of your eye. When you wake in the morning, your blurred vision has disappeared. You are now able to  see the pictures on your wall, the buttons on your clothes, and the alarm clock on your dresser. You have 20/20 visio

Unlike cosmetic laser eye surgery procedures, the changes are not permanent. The changes to the cornea will last only a day on some people. On others, it has lasted up to a week.

Vision is one of the most critical and important senses that we, as humans, possess. So it makes sense that many people are apprehensive of making any type of permanent change to them. Add to that the growing number of malpractice lawsuits involving refractive surgery, and some people, especially those already wary of surgical operations, begin to look for alternative ways of improving their vision. For them, eye braces are a good compromise between permanent contact lenses and laser eye surgery.
