With vision, anything is possible. The ability to see clearly brings confidence1 – and with confidence comes the ability to meet whatever life throws at you! Paragon Vision Sciences’ mission is to change lives by improving the vision of people across the globe.
What’s Slowing You Down?
Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is where distant objects appear blurry and out-of-focus.
Nearsightedness usually begins in childhood at school age (six years and onwards.) When left uncorrected, nearsightedness can affect a child’s ability to learn and develop.2
Also, when left untreated, severe myopia can progress rapidly and lead to vision complications such as glaucoma, premature cataracts, myopic macular degeneration, and retinal detachment.3
Nearsightedness is reaching epidemic proportions: it currently affects a quarter of the world’s population, and in the U.S. alone, cases have increased by 66 percent since 1971.2,4 Early detection is the key to prevention and reduction of potentially serious complications later in life due to nearsightedness.2
A Mission to Improve Lives
Paragon Vision Sciences has pioneered a revolutionary way to see the world! Paragon CRT® Overnight Contact Lenses offer a treatment for nearsightedness that helps improve quality of life. When Paragon CRT® Lenses are worn overnight, patients wake up to clear vision after removing the lenses and can see without the need for glasses or daytime contacts. While a patient sleeps the lenses gently correct the curvature of the cornea so light is correctly focused on the retina.
Paragon CRT® Lenses have been prescribed in over 50 countries5 – and people are pleased with the results! 97% of patients have reported that Paragon CRT® Lenses meet or exceed their expectations.6
