Choose Advanced Eyecare of Chino Your Myopia Treatment
Are you a parent looking for better ways to improve your child’s blurry vision? Also known as nearsightedness, myopia is a common condition that is diagnosed in children as early as ages eight to 12. It was simply corrected with prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses, but in recent years, there have been other effective ways to manage and slow its progression.
Myopia is one of the many eye conditions we treat at Advanced Eyecare of Chino Optometry, and we offer new and effective eye care and treatment options, including our MiSight® 1 Day Contacts!
How Do MiSight 1-Day Contacts Work?
MiSight 1-Day Contacts are daily-wear, single-use contacts specifically designed for myopia control. They’re FDA-approved to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8-12 at initiation of treatment. While they may be disposable soft contact lenses, their unique design corrects the refractive error like traditional corrective lenses. It has the peripheral part of the lens uniquely designed with concentric rings that direct light to focus on the retina.
How Safe and Effective Are MiSight Contacts?
In a three-year clinical trial of 135 children aged 8 to 12, myopia progressed 59% slower in the children who wore MiSight contact lenses compared to those who wore traditional soft contacts. This makes the MiSight contact lens a great eye care option to manage and slow down myopia progression!
The unique design of the also significantly reduces the stimuli that otherwise cause the eye to grow longer. In short, it allows your age-appropriate child to see clearly and signals the eye to slow down in its growth. This reduces the risk of vision problems later on while helping your age-appropriate child today!
The Lifestyle Implications of MiSight Contacts
Most children who prefer wearing contact lenses to regular eyeglasses will find MiSight Contacts comfortable for daily use. Of course, wearers should remember to take the necessary precautions to avoid direct contact with water, since it can lead to infections.
