• Failure to center or complete treatment with a spherical Paragon CRT® lens
using suggested parameter changes
• Decentered treatment zone on follow up with an otherwise best-t Paragon
CRT® lens
Dierences of 30 microns are sucient to cause exure, decentration, and
undertreatment due to weakened circumferential attraction between the landing
zone of the lens and the peripheral cornea. Consider use of the two RZD dierence
(50-micron) design when these indicators are present.
e indication of the Paragon CRT Dual Axis® design is conrmed if the treatment
zone becomes more circular, exure is eliminated, lens centration is improved,
circumferential landing is observed, and the targeted treatment is achieved.
