You may be making your child’s vision clear again, but did you know it’s possible to keep it from getting worse as they grow?
The eyes of a child with nearsightedness grow faster and longer than they should, causing far away objects to appear blurry. If untreated, the eye becomes weaker and vision often gets worse as the child grows older
Myopia management is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it can help slow the progression of myopia in children and adolescents, potentially reducing the risk of developing high myopia, which is associated with serious eye health issues. Effective management can also improve quality of life by reducing dependence on corrective lenses and enhancing visual performance.
MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses are single-use, disposable lenses, designed with comfort and convenience in mind. These lenses not only correct myopia but also play a significant role in controlling its progression.
In a clinical study conducted over three years, it was found that children wearing MiSight® 1 Day contact lenses had their myopia progression slowed by an average of 59% compared to those wearing conventional single-vision lenses. This substantial reduction in myopia progression is a testament to the effectiveness of MiSight® lenses.
These lenses feature ActivControl Technology, which is responsible for both correction and management of myopia. This technology utilizes two zones, one for distance correction and one for myopia control.
The distance correction zone ensures that your child has clear vision for far-off objects. The myopia control zone creates myopic defocus by projecting multiple ring-shaped images slightly in front of the retina. This action sends a signal to the eye to slow its elongation and, in turn, slow the progression of myopia.
Adopting MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses as part of your child's vision care routine can significantly aid in managing myopia. The lenses not only correct the existing refractive error but also work proactively to slow its progression. This dual action makes MiSight lenses an effective tool in myopia management.
If your child has trouble seeing far away (nearsightedness, known as myopia), you can correct AND help protect their vision from getting worse as they grow! Meet MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses specifically designed for myopia control and FDA approved to slow the progression of myopia in children ages 8-12 at the initiation of treatment
