Childhood myopia is on the rise, and research shows that progressive nearsightedness can affect eye health well into adulthood. Rather than simply correcting vision, modern myopia management focuses on slowing the condition itself. MiSight® contact lenses represent an innovative approach designed specifically to help reduce myopia progression in children.

What Is Myopia and Why Does Progression Matter?

Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing distant objects to appear blurry. In children, myopia often worsens as they grow, especially during school-age years.

As myopia progresses:

• Prescriptions increase year after year

• The eye becomes structurally more vulnerable

• Long-term risks to vision and eye health rise

Slowing myopia early isn’t just about clearer vision today - it’s about protecting your child’s eyesight for the future.

What Are MiSight® 1 Day Contact Lenses?

MiSight® lenses are FDA-approved, daily disposable soft contact lenses specifically designed for myopia management in children. Unlike traditional contacts or glasses that only correct blurry vision, MiSight® lenses work to slow the progression of myopia over time. They’re designed for children as young as 8 years old and are worn during the day, just like regular contact lenses.

How Do MiSight® Lenses Work?

MiSight® lenses use a unique optical design that:

• Corrects distance vision so kids can see clearly

• Simultaneously sends a treatment signal to slow excessive eye growth

Clinical studies have shown that children wearing MiSight® lenses experienced significantly less myopia progression compared to children wearing standard single-vision lenses.

Benefits of MiSight® Lenses for Kids

MiSight® lenses offer both vision correction and long-term eye health benefits, including:

• Clinically proven myopia control

• Clear, comfortable vision all day

• Daily disposable convenience (no cleaning required)

• Freedom for sports and activities

• A child-friendly, parent-approved treatment option

Many children adapt quickly to MiSight® lenses and enjoy the independence and confidence that comes with contact lens wear.
