October 4, 2021 | Dr. Elise Kramer | Comments are off for this post.

Myopia is a disease that affects millions of Americans — it is a condition that makes it difficult to see objects at a distance (also known as nearsightedness). Myopia management is a form of treatment that helps prevent the progression of nearsightedness. A popular treatment method for myopia involves MiSight lenses which are a revolutionary development in corrective solutions for children with myopia.

What Are MiSight Lenses?

MiSight lenses are child-friendly daily contact lens that treat myopia and remedies blurred vision. They are incredibly comfortable to wear and make it easy for children to engage in different activities. Ultimately, MiSight lenses will significantly improve the quality of life in kids and teenagers; they will no longer need to wear glasses, allowing them to live a more active lifestyle.

Supporting Your Children by Eliminating Their Vision Issues

MiSight lenses make use of innovative solutions that are incredibly effective at correcting myopia. The softness and custom shape of the lens play a huge role in preventing your children’s eyes from elongating. They essentially train the eye to develop at the correct rate instead of overgrowing, effectively preventing myopia progression.

The Dangers of Myopia

Myopia progression causes elongation of the eye. Those with higher levels of myopia can have more severe issues down the line, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma or detached retinas. The earlier you treat myopia, the better chance you have at eliminating any serious vision problems later in life.

The Causes of Myopia in Children

Myopia is ultimately a result of an elongated eye. Several different lifestyle choices play a role in the development of myopia, and they include:

Infrequent time spent outdoors
Genetic and hereditary factors
Focusing extensively on objects that are close up (e.g., reading, drawing, screens)
