What is NearSight?
There’s nothing more frustrating than not being able to see what’s right in front of you. Eventually all of us lose the ability to see close-up. Until now, the only solution was bifocal glasses or reading glasses. Reading glasses can be a hassle because they aren’t there when you need them, and it’s one more thing to carry around with you. The worse thing is that needing reading glasses makes you feel and look old.
This is why Dr. Elise Brisco, invented NearSight. NearSight is a cool reading lens attached to your phone that allows you to see on your phone, and off your phone without having to whip out unsightly reading glasses.
NearSight is always there when you need it, and keeps you connected to the world through all that you need to see and do on your phone.
