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. Paragon CRT® Contact Lenses 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. 

A Life Changing Impact 

Change the way your child see’s the world and their special place in it! Paragon CRT® is trusted by parents in over 50 countries! [5] Clinical studies show overnight lenses like Paragon CRT® can deliver life-changing benefits such as:

  • Improved ability to learn.  

  • Higher self-confidence.

  • Enhanced social skills.

  • Ability to learn

  • Greater success and participation in sports.[6]

Give Them a Competitive Advantage

Glasses can easily get smashed on the playing field and dirt, sand, or chalk can get stuck on your child’s contact lens. With overnight vision correction your child can be completely free of any visual limitations. Improve your child’s vision and their quality of life overnight! Any child who is nearsighted deserves to be as free and boundless as their nonmyopic peers.

“The advantage of freedom from corrective lens wear is very powerful and potentially life-changing for children, notably for an active child involved in swimming, basketball, and other sports.” – Dr. Michael Lipson, Nationally Recognized Optometrist [7]
