Slow the Progression of Myopia with MiSight

Myopia is on the rise, especially among school-aged children, and many parents are noticing their child’s glasses prescription getting stronger year after year. While nearsightedness may seem like a simple vision issue, progressive myopia can have long-term effects on overall eye health. At InnoVision Optometry, we offer MiSight® 1 day contact lenses - an innovative, FDA-approved treatment designed not just to correct blurry distance vision, but to help slow the progression of myopia and support healthier visual development.

Understanding Progressive Myopia

Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. This results in blurred distance vision while near vision often remains clear.

In many children, myopia continues to worsen as they grow. Rapid progression can raise the risk of future eye conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration. That’s why early intervention is so important. Slowing myopia progression during childhood can significantly reduce the likelihood of high prescriptions and related complications later in life.

What Is MiSight® 1 Day?

MiSight® 1 day is the first and only FDA-approved soft contact lens specifically designed to slow the progression of myopia in children. Unlike traditional contact lenses or glasses that only correct blurry vision, MiSight is specially engineered to both correct vision and actively manage how the eye grows.

These daily disposable lenses are comfortable, convenient, and designed specifically for children as young as 8 years old. Because they are replaced each day, they also support excellent hygiene and reduce the risk of buildup or irritation.

How MiSight Works

MiSight lenses use a unique dual-focus design. One part of the lens corrects your child’s distance vision, while another part provides special optical signals that help slow the elongation of the eye. By influencing how light focuses on the retina, MiSight helps guide the eye’s growth in a healthier way.

Clinical studies have shown that MiSight can slow myopia progression by an average of 59% over three years compared to standard single-vision lenses. That means fewer prescription increases and better long-term protection for your child’s eye health.

Is My Child a Candidate for MiSight?

MiSight may be recommended if your child:

• Has been diagnosed with myopia
• Is between the ages of 8 and 12 (ideal starting age)
• Has shown consistent prescription changes year to year
• Is responsible and motivated to wear contact lenses

At InnoVision Optometry, we perform a comprehensive pediatric eye exam to determine if MiSight is the right option. We carefully evaluate eye health, prescription history, and overall readiness to ensure the best outcome.
