Misight Contacts
Contact lenses are typically prescribed for teen and older patients, but did you know that some contact lenses can be prescribed for younger patients? Children as young as 8 years old can be prescribed Misight contact lenses for myopia (nearsightedness).
In fact, Misight contact lenses are unique because they’re designed to slow the progression of myopia for this young age group. By getting your child Misight contacts, you could actually help preserve their eyesight and protect their vision from becoming increasingly nearsighted as time goes on.
What Are Misight Contacts?
Misight contacts are one-day soft contact lenses specifically designed for children aged 8 to 12 who have nearsightedness (myopia).
What Are the Benefits of Misight Contact Lenses?
Comfortable vision correction. Most contact lenses are not designed for younger children, but Misight contact lenses allow your child ages 8 to 12 to wear corrective contact lenses.
Slow the progression of myopia. Children who have myopia often see their condition worsen over time because myopia that is left untreated has a way of getting worse. Misight contact lenses can help stop this progression from taking place.
