CRT Patient Testimonies
"I started CRT a little over 1 year ago and I think it is great! I love being able to wear contacts at night, take them out in the morning and have 20/20 vision for 2 whole days. The lenses are comfortable and easy to maintain. I have used both glasses, which are cumbersome, and soft contacts, which were irritating to my eyes. Since surgery was not an option for me, I was looking for other alternatives when I found an article about CRT in the newspaper. Dr. Bridgewater and his staff have been very professional and caring in their approach. I couldn't have been happier with my results or care."
Debbie, RN, age 37
"Hi, This is Sharon Slocum. I got my new CRT contacts in March/April, 2004. I am a pet groomer and the dog and cat hairs that float around the area are deadly to my gas permeable contacts and to my eyes. I had numerous scratches on my eyeballs due to the hairs getting under my contacts.
It was a dangerous situation due to driving on the freeway when my eyes would close and tear when a hair curled up under the contact.
NOW I don't have that problem anymore. I put the CRT contacts in at night around 7pm and take them out about 6am. My clear vision lasts an average of 8 hours now. I absolutely LOVE my new nighttime contacts. I have no plans whatsoever to go back to the other day contacts.
I was on the "cusp" of age (58) when I went for my first trial and checkup. When I got my first contacts 40 years ago I wanted them so bad I worked at finding out what was needed and when I felt the time was right I went on a weekend, got my contacts, went to work on Monday and everyone knew there was something different but didn't know what. I was a natural then and I am a natural now.
I enjoy my new freedom so much. I can groom comfortably, and now I will be able to swim, hike, raft, etc without fear of losing a contact and still be able to see great. I am in love with my contacts.
All I can say is: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
Oh, I also wear them as monofocal. I have been monofocal for 10 years now. I took to that like nothing was changed. I am not able to do bifocal. Dr. Bridgewater has been great. I think I am a challenge to him. Thank you again."

"I can finally see the board at school! Glasses made me look like a geek and I didn't feel like fiddling with contact lenses in the morning before school. Wearing CRT lenses at night have made a huge difference in my life. I just put them in before I go to bed at night and take them out the next morning. I have perfect vision all day! I can enjoy movies and other activities without having the hassle of glasses or contact lenses."
Kevin - Chaparral High School student
"During our son's grade school years, he had trouble seeing the board. He hated that his teachers would make him sit in the front of the class. He also had difficulty doing well in various youth sports. His eye doctor prescribed glasses, but he would either lose them or refuse to wear them. He's a teenager now and claims that CRT lenses have changed his whole outlook on life. He puts them in each night and in the morning he wakes up with 20/20 vision! He's doing very well in school, and he sits wherever he likes in the classroom. He's also able to look "good" in front of his peers without the encumbrances of daytime contact lenses."
