What are MiSight Contact Lenses?

Benefits of MiSight 1-Day Contact Lenses

MiSight contact lenses offer numerous benefits, including:

Effective Myopia Control

A 3-year clinical study shows MiSight lenses effectively slow myopia progression.

Hassle-Free Daily Use

As daily disposable lenses, MiSight lenses require no cleaning or maintenance.

Designed for Comfort

MiSight lenses ensure superior comfort, allowing all-day wear without irritation.

Safe and Supervised

With professional supervision, MiSight lenses provide safe myopia management.

Boosted Confidence

Enhanced vision can improve your child's confidence in daily activities.

How Do MiSight Contact Lenses Work?

• Vision Correction: The center of the lens focuses light directly on the retina, correcting myopia for clear vision.
• Myopia Control: Surrounding the center are rings designed to focus light in front of the retina. These rings help slow down the elongation of the eye, which is the primary cause of myopia progression.

How are MiSight Lenses Different?

MiSight 1-Day lenses offer a unique approach to myopia management. Here's how they differ from other myopia control methods.

MiSight Contact Lenses vs. Regular Contact Lenses

Traditional contact lenses only correct vision and do not address the underlying issue of myopia progression. In contrast, MiSight lenses correct vision and help manage myopia in a single treatment.

MiSight Contact Lenses vs. Glasses

While glasses effectively correct blurry vision caused by myopia (nearsightedness), they do not actively slow the condition's progression. MiSight lenses offer both vision correction and myopia control.

MiSight Contact Lenses vs. Atropine Drops

Atropine drops are another popular option for myopia management, but they can cause unwanted side effects such as light sensitivity and blurred near vision. MiSight lenses offer a comfortable and safe alternative without these potential drawbacks.

MiSight Contact Lenses vs. Orthokeratology (Ortho-k) Lenses

Ortho-k lenses are gas-permeable contact lenses that reshape the cornea overnight to provide clear vision during the day. While they can help manage myopia, they require nightly wear and strict hygiene habits. By comparison, MiSight lenses are daily disposable lenses that only need to be worn during waking hours, making them a more convenient option for children.

What to Know Before Getting MiSight 1-Day Contact Lenses

If you're considering MiSight contact lenses for your child's myopia management, here are some important factors to keep in mind:

Target Age Group

The ideal age range for using MiSight lenses is between 8 and 12. However, older children up to 15 years old may still benefit from these lenses to slow the worsening of myopia. The earlier myopia management starts, the more effective the lenses can be, but it's never too late to take steps to control myopia.

Ease of Use and Functionality

MiSight lenses are disposable contact lenses replaced daily, offering convenience and reducing maintenance(8). They specifically correct vision and slow myopia progression through a unique design targeting vision and eye growth. Daily disposables also help reduce the risk of irritation and infection, offering a more comfortable experience for children.

Safety and Comfort

These soft, daily lenses are FDA-approved as a treatment for myopia, ensuring they meet strict safety standards. While generally comfortable for children, MiSight lenses require proper handling and hygiene practices, so parental supervision is encouraged, especially for first-time users. The lenses provide a safe way to manage myopia progression while maintaining comfort throughout the day.

Ongoing Monitoring and Care
