MiSight contact lenses Honolulu are one of the most effective, FDA-approved ways to slow childhood myopia progression. At Simply Eyes Hawaii, we see more children each year experiencing worsening nearsightedness due to increased screen time, indoor learning, and reduced outdoor activity. MiSight 1 day lenses provide a safe, comfortable way to help control this progression while giving kids clear vision throughout the day.
What Are MiSight Contact Lenses?
MiSight® 1 day is the first and only FDA-approved soft contact lens proven to slow myopia progression in children (ages 8–12 at the start of treatment).
Unlike regular contact lenses that only correct vision, MiSight uses a special dual-focus optical design that helps guide how light enters the eye, slowing the eye’s elongation, which is the root cause of worsening myopia.
Benefits of MiSight Contact Lenses
1. Clinically Proven to Slow Myopia Progression
Studies show up to 59% reduction in myopia progression when MiSight lenses are worn daily.
2. Soft, Comfortable, and Daily Disposable
Parents love the convenience, no cleaning solutions, and a fresh, hygienic pair each day.
3. Safe for Active Kids
Perfect for children who play sports, dance, swim (with goggles), or lead busy lives.
4. Helps Reduce Long-Term Eye Health Risks
Lower myopia levels mean lower future risk of:
- Retinal detachment
- Early cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Myopic maculopathy
5. Fits Seamlessly Into School & Sports Life
Kids adapt quickly and often prefer contacts over glasses for everyday activities.
Who Is a Good Candidate for MiSight?
MiSight is ideal for children who:
- Are 6–14 years old
- Have myopia that is progressing each year
- Are responsible enough for contact lens handling
- Want freedom from glasses during activities
If your child has been increasing –0.50 to –1.00 diopters per year, they may benefit greatly from myopia control.
