As a parent, you want to do everything possible to protect your child’s future, especially when it comes to their vision. If your child’s glasses prescription keeps getting stronger every year, you’re not alone. Myopia, or nearsightedness, is on the rise, and more families in Chesapeake are asking about real solutions. That’s where MiSight contact lenses for kids come in. At Navigation Eye Care, we’re here to walk you through how they work, what to expect, and whether they’re right for your child.
What is MiSight?
MiSight is more than just a contact lens, it’s an FDA-approved treatment designed specifically for children to slow the progression of myopia. That’s right: these aren’t your average lenses. While traditional glasses and contacts help your child see clearly, MiSight helps their eyes grow in a healthier way.
At its core, MiSight gently guides the eye’s growth while correcting distance vision. The result? Your child can enjoy clearer vision today and a reduced risk of serious eye problems later in life. And since MiSight contact lenses for kids are daily disposables, there’s no cleaning required—just fresh, comfortable lenses each day. Moms, we know that’s one less thing to add to your to-do list.
Year‑Long Treatment Overview
We’ll start with a thorough consultation and eye exam to see if your child is a good candidate. If MiSight is the right fit, your child will begin wearing the lenses daily, and you’ll follow a simple care and monitoring plan with support from our compassionate eye doctor team.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what the year looks like:
- Initial Fitting: Our team will walk your child through how to put the lenses in and take them out. Yes, even the most wiggly kids can learn this!
- Quarterly Follow-ups: We’ll check vision, eye health, and how well the lenses are doing their job.
- Annual Review: We evaluate overall progress and make adjustments if needed.
Every step of the way, you’ll feel supported. Our goal is to help you stay consistent so your child’s results are long-lasting. Plus, we’re right here in Chesapeake to answer all your questions in person or by phone.
Ideal Candidates
So, who should consider MiSight contact lenses for kids? Here’s what we typically look for:
- Children aged 8 to 12 when starting treatment
- A history of worsening nearsightedness
- Motivation to wear contacts (with a little help from you, of course)
- Healthy eyes and no underlying medical conditions
If your child isn’t quite ready for contacts, don’t worry. We offer other options like atropine therapy or specialty glasses. Our eye doctor will guide you to the best fit for your family’s needs.
