MiSight is a brand of contact lenses specifically designed for myopia management in children. These lenses are part of a strategy aimed at slowing down the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children and adolescents. Myopia progression is a concern because higher levels of myopia are associated with an increased risk of eye conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic maculopathy.
Here are some key points about MiSight contact lenses:
Dual-Focus Design:
MiSight contact lenses have a dual-focus design. The central portion of the lens corrects the refractive error to provide clear distance vision, while the peripheral part of the lens creates myopic defocus. This myopic defocus is believed to help slow down the elongation of the eyeball, a key factor in myopia progression.

Daily Disposable:
MiSight lenses are designed as daily disposable lenses. This means that a fresh pair of lenses is used each day, eliminating the need for cleaning and reducing the risk of eye infections. Daily disposables are generally considered convenient and hygienic.

Part of a Comprehensive Approach:
MiSight contact lenses are often used as part of a comprehensive myopia management strategy. This may include lifestyle changes, such as spending more time outdoors, and other interventions like low-dose atropine or orthokeratology, depending on the individual’s needs.
