The MiSight daily disposable lenses are therapeutic contact lenses that are clinically proven and FDA approved to slow the progression of myopia.
Children, ages 8-12 years old, showed a 59% reduction in the worsening of their vision compared to those that did not wear MiSight lenses¹. Read the study here⁴.
How MiSight 1 Day Works
The ActivControlTM Technology in MiSight® 1 day uses vision correction zones and treatment zones within the lenses to slow the axial elongation of the eyeball.¹-³
The correction zones allow for clear vision throughout the day, while the treatment zones discourage abnormal elongation of the eye.
Slowing the axial elongation translates to less abnormal growth of the child’s eye, which will slow the worsening of their vision.
Myopia Cause and Concerns
When myopia develops in children, it tends to progress rapidly. With rapid progression, the child’s vision becomes progressively blurry. It is common to see children progress by -0.75 D per year or more. The picture below shows -0.75 D vision vs -2.00 D vision, a change that can easily occur, without treatment, in 1 year.
