MiSight contact lenses are daily disposable soft contact lenses designed to help slow the progression of myopia in children. They provide clear daytime vision while using a special optical design that may reduce the rate of eye growth associated with increasing myopia.

MiSight® contact lenses are specially designed daily disposable contact lenses that help slow the progression of myopia in children.

Unlike regular contact lenses that only correct vision, MiSight lenses are designed with a unique optical structure that both provides clear vision and helps manage myopia progression.

At The Eye Clinic, MiSight lenses may be recommended as part of a comprehensive myopia control programme for children and teens. Better to wear these lens than the normal adult contacts as it has a medical benefit.

What Are MiSight Contact Lenses?

MiSight lenses are soft daily disposable contact lenses developed specifically for children with myopia.

They are worn during the day and removed at night, just like regular contact lenses. Because they are disposable, a fresh pair of lenses is used each day.

The optical design of MiSight lenses helps create a special focus pattern on the retina that may slow the elongation of the eye, which is the main cause of increasing myopia.

How Do MiSight Lenses Help Control Myopia?

Myopia develops when the eye becomes longer over time. This causes distant objects to appear blurry.

MiSight lenses use a dual-focus design that allows clear central vision while also creating peripheral defocus signals that may help slow eye growth.

Clinical studies have shown that MiSight lenses can reduce myopia progression in children compared with standard single-vision lenses.

Benefits of MiSight Daily Disposable Lenses

Many parents choose MiSight lenses because they combine vision correction with myopia control.

Benefits include:

• Clear vision during the day

• Designed to help slow myopia progression

• Daily disposable lenses for convenience and hygiene

• Comfortable soft contact lens material

• Suitable for many children with active lifestyles

• Can be worn on some days and myopia control glasses on other days

Because a new lens is used each day, daily disposable lenses can also be convenient for children learning to wear contact lenses.

Is It Safe for Children to Wear Contact Lenses?

With proper instruction and hygiene, many children can safely wear contact lenses.

At The Eye Clinic, children and parents receive training on how to insert and remove the lenses safely. A video demonstration below is also provided to help children learn the process comfortably.

Regular follow-up visits are important to ensure that the lenses remain safe and suitable.

Trial Session for Children

Before starting MiSight lenses, children will usually have a trial session.

During this visit:

• The child’s eyes are assessed to determine suitability

• Trial lenses may be fitted

• The child is guided on how to insert and remove the lenses

• Parents and children can ask questions

This trial session helps ensure that the child is comfortable with contact lenses before starting regular use.

Choosing the Best Myopia Control Option

MiSight lenses are one of several options used to manage myopia in children.

Other treatments may include:

• Atropine eye drops

• Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses

• Myopia control spectacles

An eye doctor can help determine which treatment or combination of treatments is most appropriate for your child.
