MiSight Contact Lenses for Myopia Management in Naperville

Glasses alone are no longer considered enough when it comes to managing myopia in children. Today, we understand that the true goal of myopia care is to slow and stop the structural changes occurring in the sclera caused by optical defocus. Protecting your child's eyes early means protecting their vision for life.

Why Early Screening Matters

We recommend your child's first comprehensive eye exam at age 3 to screen for pre-myopia. Myopia progression is significantly associated with reading at a very close distance, excessive screen time, and family history of nearsightedness. Most importantly, the age at which myopia begins is the single biggest predictor of whether a child will develop high myopia later in life. The earlier it starts, the greater the risk of serious complications down the road.

Beyond eye health, slowing myopia progression carries meaningful emotional and lifestyle benefits for your child, from greater confidence in sports and daily activities to long-term freedom from the complications associated with high myopia, including increased risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts.

What Is MiSight?

MiSight 1 day is an FDA-approved soft daily disposable contact lens specifically designed to slow the progression of myopia in children. It is the first and only contact lens with this FDA indication, making it a clinically proven and trusted option for families in Naperville seeking effective myopia management.

MiSight works similarly to a multifocal lens. It features a dual-focus design with two distinct zones. The treatment zone creates peripheral myopic defocus, directing light to focus in front of the retina rather than behind it, which slows the elongation of the eye, known as axial length growth. The correction zone simultaneously addresses your child's nearsightedness so they see clearly throughout the day.

Safe, Effective and Built for Active Kids

As a daily disposable lens, MiSight offers a clean, convenient and comfortable option for children. There is no lens solution to manage overnight, and the risk of complications associated with extended wear lenses is significantly reduced. Children with active and athletic lifestyles tend to do exceptionally well with MiSight, enjoying greater freedom of movement compared to glasses.

MiSight has a remarkable track record in clinical studies, demonstrating consistent success in slowing and in some cases stopping myopia progression altogether.
