MiSight 1 Day Contact Lenses
The first FDA approved contact lens for slowing childhood myopia
MiSight uses a dual focus optical design. Concentric treatment zones sit alongside correction zones, so the child sees clearly through the lens while the peripheral retina simultaneously receives the myopic defocus signal that discourages further elongation of the eye.
The three year clinical study behind its FDA approval followed children from age eight and demonstrated significant slowing of both refractive progression and axial growth compared with a standard single vision daily lens.
Because MiSight is a daily disposable, a fresh sterile lens goes in each morning and is discarded each night. There is no solution, no case, and no cleaning routine, which removes the compliance problems that historically made contact lenses difficult for younger children.
Fitting children in contact lenses
Parents are often surprised at how capable children are with daily disposables. Research consistently shows that children as young as eight handle lenses safely and independently after proper training, and many prefer them to glasses for sports and daily activity.
The fitting appointment covers insertion and removal training, hygiene, wearing schedule, and what to do if a lens becomes uncomfortable. We send families home only once the child can insert and remove lenses confidently on their own.
Follow up visits track axial length alongside vision, so we can confirm that myopia control is achieving its goal rather than simply that the lenses feel comfortable.
A daily disposable lens that corrects vision and slows myopia progression at the same time, with no cleaning routine to manage.
