How MiSight® Contacts Help Slow Down Myopia In Children

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common among children and it’s more than just a need for glasses. Left unmanaged, myopia can lead to serious vision complications later in life. At Johns Creek Eyecare, we’re proud to offer CooperVision MiSight® 1 day contact lenses, a scientifically proven solution that helps slow the progression of myopia in children.
What Is Myopia & Why Is It A Concern?
Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in distant objects appearing blurry while close-up vision remains clear.
The Rise Of Childhood Myopia
Increased screen time and reduced outdoor activity have contributed to a dramatic rise in childhood myopia. Early intervention is key to protecting your child’s long-term eye health.
What Are MiSight® 1 Day Contact Lenses?
MiSight® 1 day lenses are the first and only FDA-approved soft contact lenses specifically designed to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8 to 12 at the initiation of treatment. Manufactured by CooperVision, these daily disposable lenses are comfortable, easy to use, and clinically proven to be effective.
How MiSight® Lenses Work
MiSight® lenses feature a dual-focus optical design. While part of the lens corrects your child’s vision like a regular contact lens, another part simultaneously sends treatment signals to the eye, helping to reduce the eye’s elongation over time.
The Benefits Of MiSight® Lenses For Your Child
- Slows Myopia Progression: Clinical studies show that MiSight® lenses slow the progression of myopia by 59% on average.
- Comfortable Daily Wear: Soft, daily disposable lenses mean no cleaning or storage—just a fresh pair each day.
- Easy for Kids to Use: Designed with children in mind, MiSight® lenses are simple to handle and wear.
