Dr. Emi Girgis at Mack Eye Center is a MiSight® specialist that can prescribe these Contact Lenses to your child.
MiSight® 1 day lenses are a game-changer because they don't just correct a child's vision.
They actually change the way the eye grows.
Here are the primary benefits of MiSight contact lenses for myopia management:
Clinical & Health Benefits
- Slowing Progression: On average, age-appropriate children wearing MiSight® 1 day contact lenses progressed less than -1.00D over 6 years.
- Children wearing MiSight® 1 day achieved better than 20/20 vision across all visits over a 6-year period.
- FDA Approved: It is the first and only soft contact lens FDA-approved to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8-12 at the start of treatment.
Lifestyle & Confidence
- Freedom from Glasses: Ideal for active children, providing a full field of vision without frames that can slip, fog up, or break during sports and play.
- Increased Self-Esteem: Many children feel more confident in social and school environments when they aren't dependent on thick glasses.
- Better Peripheral Vision: Unlike glasses, contacts move with the eye, providing clear vision in all directions, which is particularly beneficial for athletes.
Ease of Use & Hygiene
- Daily Disposable Convenience: No cleaning or storage cases required. A fresh, sterile pair is used every day, which significantly lowers the risk of eye infections compared to reusable lenses.
- Kid-Friendly Design: Designed specifically for younger eyes, making them easy for children to learn how to insert and remove.
- High Success Rate: Children as young as 8 years old can confidently apply and remove MiSight® 1 day lenses on their own.
