Myopia is becoming more common in children, and it often worsens as they grow. At Pilot Point Family Eye Care, we help families understand that myopia management is about more than seeing clearly today - it is also about protecting long-term eye health. MiSight lenses are one option that can help slow the progression of myopia while giving children the freedom of daily contact lenses.

What Is Myopia?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, makes distant objects look blurry. It usually starts in childhood and can continue to progress over time. As myopia increases, the eye grows longer from front to back. That extra growth is what makes myopia management important, because higher levels of myopia may increase the risk of future eye health concerns.

Why Managing Myopia Early Is Important

Clear vision is important, but slowing myopia progression can have lasting benefits. When a child’s prescription changes quickly year after year, it may be a sign that the eye is continuing to elongate. Myopia management helps address that progression early.

We offer pediatric eye exams and several myopia management options to help families address nearsightedness before it becomes more advanced. Early action can make a meaningful difference in how quickly a child’s prescription changes.

How MiSight Lenses Work

MiSight lenses are soft daily disposable contact lenses designed for children with myopia. They do two jobs at once. First, they correct blurry distance vision so kids can see more clearly at school, during sports, and in everyday life. Second, they use a special optical design to help slow the eye changes linked to myopia progression.

Because they are daily disposable lenses, parents in Pilot Point also appreciate that there is no cleaning routine at the end of the day. A fresh pair is worn each morning and thrown away at night.

Signs Your Child May Benefit From MiSight

Not every child is the same, but some signs may suggest it is time to talk about MiSight lenses:

• Your child’s nearsighted prescription keeps increasing
• They are squinting to see far away objects
• They want clear vision for sports and school activities
• You have a family history of myopia
• You want a daily lens option that supports myopia management
