STERLING, Va.—Euclid Systems Corporation, a global leader in advanced orthokeratology and proactive myopia management, announced two additions to its leadership team as well as the expansion of its manufacturing facility here.

"But our steadfast commitment to innovation is not taking a break. We’ve just expanded our manufacturing space and employee resources for the second time in three years and continue to grow our leadership team for future expansion. We’re pleased to welcome Greg Endicott and Mark Mercier, who bring decades of experience, innovation, and results in fast-paced health care environments.
