MiSight® 1-Day Contact Lenses in Frisco, TX
As the first and only FDA-approved soft contact lens proven to slow the progression of myopia in children, MiSight® provides clear vision while helping support long-term eye health. At EyeQ Vision, we incorporate MiSight® into personalized myopia management plans to help children maintain healthier vision as they grow.
What Is MiSight®?
MiSight® 1-day is a daily disposable soft contact lens designed for children with myopia. Unlike traditional contact lenses that simply correct blurry vision, MiSight® lenses are designed to do two things at the same time:
- Provide clear vision
- Help slow the progression of nearsightedness
Backed by years of clinical research, MiSight® became the first and only FDA-approved soft contact lens indicated to slow the progression of myopia in children.
Why Managing Myopia Matters
Many parents are surprised to learn that myopia is more than a vision problem. While glasses and standard contact lenses can help children see clearly, they do not slow the progression of the condition. As myopia worsens, the eye continues to elongate, increasing the risk of developing severe eye diseases later in life.
Research has linked higher levels of myopia to an increased risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration, and certain types of cataracts. Because of these long-term risks, many eye care professionals now view myopia management as an important part of protecting a child's future eye health rather than simply correcting vision.
How MiSight® Lenses Work
MiSight® 1-day contact lenses are designed to correct blurry distance vision while simultaneously helping slow the progression of myopia.
Unlike traditional single-vision contact lenses that focus solely on correcting vision, MiSight® was developed to address the progression of childhood myopia. This dual-purpose design allows children to enjoy clear vision while supporting healthier eye development over time.
Because MiSight® lenses are daily disposables, children wear a fresh pair each day and simply discard them at night. This convenient replacement schedule helps support lens comfort, eye health, and ease of use for children and parents.
Backed by Clinical Research
MiSight® is one of the most extensively researched myopia management treatments available. Clinical studies have demonstrated that children ages 8–12 wearing MiSight® lenses experienced slower myopia progression than those wearing traditional single-vision lenses. Researchers also found reduced eye elongation, an important factor associated with the long-term risks of progressive myopia.
The Benefits of MiSight®
MiSight® offers a unique combination of vision correction and long-term eye health benefits for children with myopia.
MiSight® is the first and only FDA-approved soft contact lens proven to slow the progression of myopia in children.
A fresh pair of lenses each day eliminates the need for cleaning solutions and lens storage, making daily wear simple and convenient.
By slowing myopia progression, MiSight® may reduce future risks associated with higher levels of nearsightedness.
MiSight® treatment includes ongoing evaluations and monitoring to help ensure continued success as your child's eyes develop.
Is My Child a Candidate?
MiSight® myopia lenses may be a good option for children who:
- Have been diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness)
- Are experiencing increasing prescriptions
- Want an alternative to updating glasses each year
- Are healthy candidates for contact lens wear
The best way to determine whether this myopia management option is right for your child is through a comprehensive eye exam. During this visit, our eye doctors will assess:
- Your child's current prescription and vision needs
- Overall eye health and development
- Corneal measurements and contact lens suitability
- Lifestyle factors and daily activities
- Myopia progression history and treatment goals
Many parents are surprised to learn how easily children adapt to contact lenses. Studies have shown that children can be just as successful at wearing and caring for contact lenses as teenagers and adults when properly trained and supported.
