Myopia Management with MiSight
Dr. Cara was one of the first optometrists certified to fit MiSight through the Brilliant Futures Program.
Previously, glasses and contact lenses were prescribed to help children with myopia see clearly. The good news is that there is now an FDA-approved soft contact lens that can correct vision and is indicated to slow the progression of myopia in children, 8-12 years of age!
Children wear the lenses at least 10 hours per day, 6 days each week to obtain the treatment effect.
Over 3 years, myopia progression reduced by 59% on average. Over a 6-year period, children wearing MiSight® 1 day progressed less than 1.00 D on average.
