| Better Vision Overnight by Lorilyn Rackl, Daily Herald Health Editor Millions of people start their morning by popping in their contact lenses. That's when Linda Polzin takes hers out. The 51-year-old Orland Park woman wears a type of contact lens called "Paragon CRT," recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat mild to moderate nearsightedness and some astigmatism. Plenty of contact lenses bring blurry objects into crisp focus - while you wear them. But the Paragon lenses do their work while patients sleep, subtly flattening and reshaping the transparent tissue of the cornea. It's the same idea as LASIK surgery, but instead of removing tissue you're redistributing it. |
