Identifying and managing myopia and short-sightedness

For a more scientific explanation, the shape and length of a myopia patient’s eye causes light rays to refract inaccurately on the eye’s retina, meaning images focus in front of the retina, causing the images to appear blurry.

Commonly, in myopic eyes,  the length of the eye is longer than it should be, meaning images of objects in the distance are focused in front of rather than on the retina,  which is the light-capturing layer of the eye.

Medical science has made significant inroads in eye care, inventing ways to identify and manage myopia and short-sightedness effectively. One of its tried and tested solutions that assists and, in many cases, improves eye health and eye conditions is MiSight contact lenses.

Often, children lead hectic lives. Between teddy bear picnics and wheeling bicycles, keeping glasses abreast of the nose bridge can sometimes be a hassle for busy little humans. This predicament is where the rubber of science innovation meets the road.

MiSight 1 day contact lenses are a groundbreaking, world-first daily disposable soft lens, proven to slow the progression of myopia in children and teenagers. The lenses use ActivControl® Technology, which combines distance correction zones with peripheral treatment zones that create a myopic retinal defocus. These lenses are incredibly soft, making them perfect for little eyes and allowing children the freedom to carry on with their busy lives.
