Myopia Control

What is MiSight?

MiSight is an FDA-approved, innovative contact lens designed specifically for myopia control in children. MiSight lenses are soft, daily disposable lenses that help slow the progression of myopia by reshaping the cornea while your child wears them. These lenses provide clear vision for your child during the day and can help reduce the need for stronger glasses or contact lenses over time.

How MiSight Works

MiSight works by using a special dual-focus lens design that targets the growth of the eye, which is the root cause of myopia progression. The unique design allows for clear vision while gently guiding the eye’s growth in a way that can slow myopia progression. Studies have shown that MiSight lenses can reduce the rate of myopia progression in children by up to 59% after two years of wear.

What to Expect with MiSight Treatment

During your child’s eye exam at Brinton Family Eye Care, Dr. Yantorni will assess their eye health and determine if MiSight lenses are the right treatment option. Once MiSight is recommended, we will perform a fitting to ensure that the lenses are comfortable and provide clear vision. MiSight is easy to incorporate into your child’s daily routine as they are daily disposables, meaning they wear a fresh pair every day and don’t need to be cleaned.
