And now a proud husband and father of two. But for more than half of his life, Joe Jonas says he was struggling to see beyond the bright lights of fame.
- I couldn't see things very far away. My eyesight wasn't terrible, terrible, but enough where it would provide an issue if I lost my contacts or my glasses.

(SINGING) You got to live to party, like Shamu.
When we did a TV show, I wore glasses for the second season. My eyes just couldn't handle it.
- Joe is one of the 2.6 billion people worldwide who suffer from Myopia, or nearsightedness. That estimate is around 30% of the world's population and is expected to rise to nearly 50% by the year 2050. Joe says that after careful research, he decided to undergo vision correction surgery, opting for a new FDA-approved implantable lens by our sponsor Evo ICL.
- I was able to sit back and get this eye surgery done, 6 minutes roughly in each eye, within 24 hours I walked back for my checkup and I felt fine. I don't feel like I have the contact irritation that they're drying out. One thing I love about Evo is that one day if I, for some reason, want to take it out, I can have my eye doctor take it out. It is really amazing that it's not forever If I don't want it to be.
- Two weeks ago, Joe, who is an Evo spokesperson, took to the stage for the first time since his surgery, performing with his brothers in Mexico.
- Getting on stage and being able to see familiar faces in the audience that weren't just the first few rows, it was phenomenal.

- And that's not the only major life change for Joe, welcoming his second daughter over the summer with wife, Sophie Turner. The trio of brothers now bonded in a new way, fatherhood.
- It's a huge impact on everything we do. You work really hard so you can take a little bit extra time off and be present and be home. It's nice to do it with your brothers because they are also going through a similar lifestyle as you.
- With new music on the horizon and a stint in Vegas in the fall, Joe now seeing his future through a new lens.
- Talk to your doctor or your eye doctor and learn what it's about and how non-invasive it is. It's a game-changer.

- And our thanks to sponsor Evo ICO for sharing Joe's story. And good news for Jonas Brothers fans, new music is coming from the trio. Joe tells us they are constantly writing and recording.
