At the Raleigh Contact Lens Institute, our doctors are nationally recognized and frequently lecture on the topic of myopia management. They are highly experienced in all major treatment options, including MiSight contact lenses, orthokeratology (Ortho-K), and low-dose atropine therapy.

With access to advanced technology found in only a handful of practices nationwide, we provide some of the most effective and precise care for myopia control. Every patient receives a thorough 1.5–2 hour comprehensive exam, spent entirely one-on-one with the doctor. During this time, we carefully evaluate your child’s vision needs and explain all available options for slowing myopia progression.

The safety and effectiveness of MiSight contact lenses were evaluated in a 3-year clinical trial involving 135 children aged 8 to 12. Participants were prescribed either MiSight or traditional soft contact lenses. Results showed that myopia progression slowed by 59% in children wearing MiSight lenses compared to those wearing conventional soft contacts.

These findings demonstrate that MiSight is a highly effective option for managing myopia in children while also correcting their vision.

• Dual Benefit – Vision Correction + Myopia Control
  MiSight lenses not only provide clear vision but also help slow the progression of nearsightedness.
• Comfortable to Wear
  Designed as soft contact lenses, MiSight offers a comfortable fit suitable for children.
• Daily Disposable
  With single-use daily wear, there’s no need for cleaning or storage, reducing the risk of damage or loss.
• Clinically Proven
  Backed by extensive research and clinical studies, MiSight has proven success in slowing myopia progression.

While MiSight contact lenses are an excellent option for managing childhood myopia, they may not be the right solution for every child. Other myopia management treatments such as orthokeratology (Ortho-K), atropine drops, or scleral lenses may also be recommended by your doctor depending on your child’s specific needs.

Potential disadvantages of MiSight include:

• Daytime Wear Only – Since MiSight lenses must be worn during the day, it may be harder for parents to monitor how consistently or correctly their child is using them during daily activities.
• Standardized Lens Design – Because MiSight lenses are manufactured in a standard format, an ill-fitting lens may lead to misalignment of the vision correction zones, reducing effectiveness.
• Limited for Astigmatism – MiSight may not be the best option for children with moderate to high astigmatism, where other myopia control solutions might provide better results.

Atropine eye drops are often used in pediatric myopia management to help slow the progression of nearsightedness, though they do not directly correct vision. Atropine may be prescribed alone or in combination with advanced options like orthokeratology (ortho-k) or MiSight contact lenses for better long-term control.
