MiSight Contact Lenses: Advanced Myopia Management for Children
iVision Eyecare is dedicated to providing advanced solutions in myopia management, ensuring that we effectively slow the progression of nearsightedness and young adults. We are proud to offer MiSight contact lenses as a pivotal part of our comprehensive approach, an early myopia intervention to give you or your child a clearer path to maintaining eye health in the long term.
MiSight daily disposable contact lenses were developed by CooperVision as part of their Brilliant Futures™ Myopia Management Program. They are the first and only FDA-approved myopia control soft lenses designed to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8 to 12.
How Do CooperVision’s MiSight Lenses Work?
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is caused by a concave lens or the elongation of the eyeball. This leads to light focusing in front of the retina rather than directly on it, resulting in blurred vision for distant objects.
These lenses for myopia control address this problem using an innovative dual-focus design. Focusing light on the retina is believed to reduce the stimulus for the eye to grow longer, and that's how they work.
Benefits of MiSight Contact Lenses
The benefits of using MiSight contact lenses for myopia management are substantial and multi-faceted:
- Slows Myopia Progression: Clinical studies have shown that MiSight contact lenses can significantly slow the progression of myopia in children when compared to wearing glasses or contact lenses.
- Designed for Children: A soft contact lens is much easier for children. They are designed specifically for the lifestyles of young children, making them an ideal choice to prevent myopia from worsening.
- Daily Disposable Convenience: MiSight lenses offer a high level of hygiene and convenience, essential for maintaining eye health in pediatric patients.
- Promotes Outdoor Activity: These children’s contact lenses effectively correct vision, encouraging more time outdoors, which is also beneficial for eye health and overall physical development.
Ideal Candidates for MiSight Contact Lenses
The initiation of treatment for children with myopia is typically between the ages of 8 and 12. Addressing nearsightedness within this age range maximizes the effectiveness of the intervention.
Additionally, children who are active and whose parents are looking for a safe, effective pediatric myopia treatment are ideal candidates.
Results You Can Expect
Parents can expect to see a significant reduction in their child’s progression of myopia when using MiSight lenses as part of a comprehensive myopia management strategy. A study showed that vision problems caused by myopia were reduced by 59% over three years when worn as directed.
This is a promising outcome for reducing the long-term risk factors associated with high myopia, such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal detachment.
