How Do I Get My Child Started with MiSight Lenses?

As a parent, you want the best for your child's vision and overall well-being. If your child has been diagnosed with myopia, also known as nearsightedness, it's essential to explore effective myopia management options to help slow the progression of this condition. One such solution is MiSight® 1 Day contact lenses, designed specifically for children.

Understanding Myopia in Children

Myopia is a common refractive error that causes distant objects to appear blurry while close-up objects remain clear. In children, myopia often begins to develop during the early school years and can worsen over time. This condition is on the rise worldwide, with an estimated 50% of the global population expected to be myopic by 2050.
 

The Importance of Myopia Management in Children

Controlling the progression of myopia in children is crucial as it can lead to a higher risk of developing sight-threatening eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts. Effective myopia management strategies, like the use of MiSight 1 Day contact lenses, can help slow down the elongation of the eyeball, which is the primary cause of myopia.
 

Exploring MiSight 1 Day Contact Lenses

MiSight 1 Day contact lenses are a revolutionary solution designed specifically for children with myopia. These daily disposable lenses are the first and only contact lenses approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the control of myopia progression in children aged 8 to 12 at the initiation of treatment.
 

MiSight 1 Day contact lenses use a unique dual-focus design that combines a central zone for clear vision and peripheral zones that create a specific optical pattern. This pattern helps to slow the elongation of the eyeball, which is the primary cause of myopia progression. By controlling this process, MiSight lenses can effectively manage the progression of myopia in children.
