Daily soft contact lenses to slow nearsightedness

boy with contact lense

MiSight® is the first soft contact lens FDA approved to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8-12 years old at the initiation of treatment. Honolulu Eye Clinic was the first clinic in the state to fit patients with the MiSight lens The contacts are a convenient daily soft contact lens which children insert in their eyes in the morning and dispose of at night without the need to to store or clean them. This treatment is NOT the same as orthokeratology. These customized lenses are comfortable and will fit your child’s active lifestyle.

MiSight® 1-day Myopia Management is more than just vision correction, but let’s face it, myopia management is only successful when the parents are on board.

This amazing new lens:

  • Corrects distance vision immediately
  • Slows myopia progression during their growing years
  • Is comfortable and easy to insert & remove
  • Is great for active kids
  • Reduces the worry of losing and breaking spectacles
  • Avoids social stigmas associated with wearing glasses

And, most importantly, MiSight® 1-day is a healthy option for young, tween, and teen children. Studies confirm that each year we can delay the onset of myopia substantially decreases the risk of developing High Myopia in adulthood. Our doctors are trained and teaching your child how to learn to care for their new contacts properly.

Is my child at risk?

F.A.Q.

What is involved in treatment?

Treatment typically lasts a minimum of 2 years.  Progress visits will be scheduled every 6 months to check the length of the eye and prescription of the contacts/glasses.  Adjustments will be made to the treatment accordingly for your child.

Is my child too young to wear contacts?

At Honolulu Eye Clinic, we spend a lot of time training kids on contact lens care. We find that the responsibility of wearing and caring for contact lenses is more dependent upon how responsible your child is versus their age.  Many younger kids view wearing contacts as a privilege and most are even more compliant about how they care for them than our teenaged patients!  In fact, with the increased parent supervision required for younger kids to wear contacts, the children in the original MiSight®  study had no cases of microbial keratitis.

How successful are these treatments?

With hundreds of children now in myopia management using the treatments at Honolulu Eye Clinic, Dr. Wong and Bossert are the most experienced doctors in Hawaii.  They will discuss the specifics of your child’s nearsightedness, as well as expectations, at the initial consultation.

What else can be done to slow my child’s nearsightedness?

Several studies have shown the benefits of outdoor time at slowing myopic progression. Being outdoors in the sunlight is protective.  Kids who spent 1-2 hours/day outdoors, were on average a whole diopter less nearsighted than their peers who did not.  That would mean -3.00 prescription instead of a -4.00 prescription. And, the more time kids spent indoors on devices made their myopia worse.  Decreasing screen time and increasing outdoor time is beneficial.
