Myopia, or short-sightedness, is on the rise — especially among children. More kids than ever are becoming reliant on stronger and stronger glasses, and for many families, it's happening earlier than expected. The problem? Glasses and standard contact lenses only help your child see clearly — they don’t stop myopia from getting worse.

Fortunately, years of research have brought new treatment options that don’t just correct vision — they can slow down how quickly myopia progresses. One of the most trusted options available today is MiSight® 1 day contact lenses.

What Are MiSight® Contact Lenses?

MiSight® lenses are soft daily disposable contact lenses designed especially for children. Unlike regular lenses, they use a special optical design that both corrects vision and helps slow down the eye's elongation — the main cause of worsening myopia.

Backed by over 7 years of clinical studies, MiSight® has been proven to reduce myopia progression by up to 59%*. That means your child could maintain clearer vision for longer — and reduce the long-term risks associated with high myopia, like retinal detachment and glaucoma.

Is MiSight® Right for My Child?

MiSight® lenses are child-friendly, easy to wear, and safe to use from age 8 and up. They’re fitted and prescribed by specially trained optometrists with expertise in myopia control. If your child’s prescription has been increasing each year, it might be time to explore this option.
