Better Grades. More Confidence. Increased Participation in Sports.  

Imagine that your child can’t see the chalkboard, basketball hoop, or their friends on the playground. Nearsightedness may be hindering your child’s quality of life. Nearsightedness, also known as myopia is a vision condition where far away objects appear blurry.  Nearsightedness is the most common cause of visual impairment worldwide. [1] By 2050, it is estimated that 50% of the world’s population will be nearsighted, that’s 4.9 billion people! [2] The most common form of myopia is school-age myopia. School-age myopia progresses slowly, and usually stabilizes by the age of 20. [3] Age 6 is when children typically start to develop nearsightedness. [2]

Blurry vision can hinder a child’s success in school, sports, and their self-confidence. To treat nearsightedness most parents turn to glasses or daytime contacts. But there is a way to treat nearsightedness without glasses, daytime contacts, or surgery. are FDA approved for overnight wear [4] and treat a child’s myopia while they sleep. Your child puts in the lenses at night before bed. While they sleep the lenses gently reshape the cornea. In the morning your child removes the lenses and has improved vision without the need for glasses or daytime contacts.

Improve your child’s ability to learn 

Vision issues can place limitations on childhood development that can directly impact their quality of life. (4) Performance in the classroom, out on the playing field, and socializing with peers can all be compromised by nearsightedness. Experts believe 80% of what a child learns in school is information that is presented visually. (5)  It is vital that a child can clearly see and take in information presented to them. Paragon CRT® allows your child to see the chalkboard, classmates, teachers, TV, etc., without the help of daytime contact lenses or glasses.
