We believe that….

Myopia is a treatable disease

Early intervention is imperative

A novel approach is needed

Robust clinical data is essential

Goal of Myopia Control Therapy

Reduce the progression of

myopia

Decrease risk of myopia-related

eye disease

Provide better eye care!

Our Technology Based on a Novel Mechanism

8

• Our research indicates that eye growth is stimulated by contrast-signaling retinal neurons

• SightGlass Vision’s Diffusion Optics Technology spectacles control retinal contrast

• Only myopia control technology based on a genetics discovery

• Mechanism not based on peripheral defocus

– Not influenced by viewing distance

– Applicable for both contact lenses and spectacles

Previous Clinical Trials – Efficacy Demonstrated• Two separate clinical trials have demonstrated reduced myopia

progression with SightGlass lenses– PALM (n=20): Contralateral, controlled clinical trial– ELM (n=135): Randomized, controlled, 3-arm parallel group trial

CYPRESS Pivotal Clinical Trial Underway

11

Study title Control of Myopia Using Peripheral Diffusion Lenses: Efficacy and Safety Study (CYPRESS)Subjects N=255, 6-10 year old myopes who are between -0.75 and -4.50 D

Study Design 3-year, prospective, controlled, double-masked, 3-arm parallel group trial with 1:1:1 randomization, with age and baseline myopia balanced across arms

Arms Two treatment arms (n=85 each) and a control arm (n=85)

Sites 14 sites (13 US, 1 Canadian) – mixture of academic and private practice sites

Assessments Clinical assessments include:• Observer-masked HAAG-STREIT LENSTAR ocular biometry• Observer-masked cycloplegic Grand Seiko autorefraction• Low/high-contrast logMAR VA at distance and near• Stereopsis, color vision, and peripheral VA• Automated scotopic, low mesopic, and high mesopic pupil size• In-office, electronic parent and subject questionnaires• At-home, electronic assessment of compliance (every 2 weeks)

Co-primary Endpoint

Includes analyses of:• Axial length change from baseline• Cycloplegic autorefraction change from baseline
