Benefits of MiSight 1-Day Contact Lenses

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 eye's elongation, which is the primary cause of myopia progression.

How are MiSight Lenses Different From Other Treatments?

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

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

MiSight Contact Lenses vs. Atropine Drops

Both are effective treatments for myopia. Where MiSight requires special contact lenses be worn, Atropine drops are drops that xxxxxx. They can cause unwanted side effects such as light sensitivity and blurred near vision.

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