Product: CooperVision’s New Fitting Software for Paragon CRT and Dual Axis Contact Lenses
Top Line: CooperVision Specialty EyeCare is launching Paragon CRT software for eyecare professionals (ECPs). The easy-to-understand, topography-guided tool includes several features aimed at simplifying the fitting process and enhancing confidence for first-time CRT and CRT Dual Axis contact lens prescribers.
Close Up: 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.
“As trends and demands continue to change, it’s imperative for us to deepen our partnership with the specialty eyecare 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 Aragon, 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.”
Vital Stats: CooperVision Specialty EyeCare recommends Paragon CRT 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 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 fitters. The software is available to download at ecp.paragonvision.com/software.
