No Ordinary Contact Lens
Nearsightedness affects a quarter of the world’s population.2 From children struggling to see the front of the classroom to adults who can’t make out street signs on a drive – nearsightedness can greatly impact your day-to-day life. By 2050 it is expected nearly half of the world’s population will be nearsighted.1 While traditional treatment options such as glasses or daytime contacts are available, we manufacture a life-changing treatment called Paragon CRT® contact lenses. Paragon CRT® Lenses are overnight orthokeratology (Ortho-K) contacts. Ortho-K contact lenses are worn by you or your child overnight and gently corrects the curvature of the cornea while sleeping. In the morning, remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision all day without the need for glasses or daytime contacts. Paragon CRT® Lenses don’t just correct vision; they give FREEDOM from the hassle of glasses or daytime contacts.
