Is Your Child a Candidate for MiSight Myopia Control Lenses?

If your child has been diagnosed with nearsightedness, you may be wondering whether there is a way to do more than just update their prescription every year. At Monroe Vision Clinic, we help families explore myopia management options like MiSight 1 Day contact lenses, which are designed to correct vision while also slowing myopia progression in children.
 

Why Myopia Management Is Important

Myopia management focuses on slowing progression instead of only correcting blurry vision. When myopia increases year after year, the eye can lengthen more than it should. That extra elongation is one reason eye doctors monitor childhood myopia closely. Starting treatment early can help reduce how quickly prescription changes happen and may lower the risk of certain vision complications later in life.
 

How MiSight 1 Day Contact Lenses Work

MiSight 1 day lenses by CooperVision are daily disposable soft contact lenses designed to both correct vision and help slow myopia progression. MiSight uses ActivControl Technology to create treatment zones that help slow eye elongation while also giving children clear vision. The lens is FDA-approved for slowing myopia progression in age-appropriate children, and clinical results have shown an average 59% reduction in myopia progression over three years compared with a single-vision daily lens.
 

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A child may be a good candidate for MiSight if they are developing myopia and their prescription is changing over time. MiSight is intended for children who are 8 to 12 years old at the start of treatment, with a prescription range of -0.75 to -4.00 diopters and 0.75 diopters or less of astigmatism. The best way to know if your child qualifies is through a myopia management evaluation with our team.
 

Benefits of MiSight For Kids

MiSight can offer several practical benefits for children and parents:

• Clear distance vision without relying only on glasses
• Daily disposable convenience with a fresh pair each day
• A treatment option designed specifically to slow myopia progression
• Freedom for sports, school, and active routines
• A lens many children adapt to successfully, including first-time wearers
