Jonathan MacKerron (asker) Feb 23, 2011:
not just daytime at first view I thought this was a medical text, but it is in fact a PR blurb, so the new-found 'freedom' here is to be understood in PR terms, not medical ones....
Helen Shiner Feb 23, 2011:
OK so the slogan refers to the daytime.
Jonathan MacKerron (asker) Feb 23, 2011:
@Helen to obviate the need for contact lenses during the day by wearing corrective orthokeratological lenses at night
Helen Shiner Feb 23, 2011:
@ Jonathan I was just confused by your post saying it was a method of using contact lenses at night to rid oneself of glasses or contact lenses!
Jonathan MacKerron (asker) Feb 23, 2011:
as far as I understand it, the overall idea is more "unencumbered", i.e. not just seeing well, but getting rid of cumbersome glasses or sensitive contacts
Sarah Bessioud Feb 23, 2011:
or perhaps... ...the long term goal?
Helen Shiner Feb 23, 2011:
Hi Jonathan Do you think then that the headline phrase refers to a patient's day-time experience?
Jonathan MacKerron (asker) Feb 23, 2011:
Hold the press!! I was too hasty in my assumption here, this concerns orthokeratology, which I take to mean neither glasses NOR contact lenses, i.e. a method to correct corneal malformations by wearing special corrective contact lenses during sleep.

a clear view

One suggestion amongst many others, I am sure.

Clear could be taken two ways - an unobstructed view (nothing in the way) and sharp vision (good eyesight).

Note from asker:
how about "freedom for you and your eyes"?
Peer comment(s):
agree Dr. Mara Huber : I like this - vision is clear with glasses as well, but contacts give you freedom

neutral Anne Schulz : might be problematic if another company has already booked that slogan
