What is myopia?
It’s a condition found in 40% of U.S. children ages 5—19, and the primary symptom is nearsightedness.4 As time goes by, the eyes of a child with myopia become longer, causing distant objects to look blurry. And, if it’s not addressed, it will worsen as they get older.
Here’s the MiSight® 1 day process
- Your child’s optometrist will create a treatment plan that includes fitting them for soft contact lenses and will assess their progress in the first few months—making adjustments to their treatment as needed.
- After that, a doctor will check in on your child’s progress every six months to a year.
- All your child has to do is wear MiSight® 1 day contact lenses until there are no more changes in their vision.
Does it actually work?
Sure does! MiSight® 1 day is clinically proven5 and generally safe for children to use.6, 7, 8
Over a three-year period the lens slowed the progression of myopia in age-appropriate children by 59% on average.9
On average, children wearing MiSight® 1 day progressed less than -1.00D over 6 years.10
