For parents in The Heights, Houston (77007), learning your child has myopia (nearsightedness) naturally brings questions about the best way to manage it. While traditional glasses and contacts correct blurry vision, MiSight® 1 day contact lenses, offered at Apollo Vision Haus, do more – they are specifically designed and FDA-approved to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8-12 at the initiation of treatment.

What Makes MiSight® 1 Day Lenses Different?

MiSight® lenses are a groundbreaking advancement in children's eye care. Here’s what makes them special:

• Dual-Focus Design: These soft, daily disposable contact lenses have a unique optical design. While one part of the lens corrects your child's existing nearsightedness so they can see clearly, other parts of the lens redirect peripheral light in a way that signals the eye to slow down its growth. It's this slowing of eye elongation that helps reduce myopia progression.
• Child-Friendly: Being daily disposables means a fresh, sterile pair of lenses every day. This simplifies hygiene, reduces the risk of infection, and means no complicated cleaning routines – a big plus for busy Heights families and active kids!
• Proven Efficacy: Extensive clinical studies have shown that MiSight® 1 day lenses can significantly slow myopia progression. This means your child may end up with a much lower prescription than they might have otherwise.
• Comfort and Convenience: Made from a soft, flexible material, children find MiSight® lenses comfortable to wear. They can participate in sports and other activities without the worry of glasses slipping or breaking.
