If your child wears glasses and their prescription keeps getting stronger, you’re not alone. This common condition—called myopia, or nearsightedness—affects how clearly your child sees things far away. What’s even more important is that myopia often gets worse with age.
But here’s the good news: At Navigation Eye Care in Chesapeake, VA, we offer MiSight contact lenses, a breakthrough solution designed not just to correct vision, but to slow myopia progression in children.
How MiSight Contact Lenses Work
MiSight lenses look and feel like regular daily contacts, but their technology goes much deeper. These lenses feature a special dual-focus design. While the center corrects your child’s vision, the outer parts of the lens gently signal the eyes to slow down their growth.
Why is that important?
Myopia progression happens when the eyeball grows too long. The more it grows, the stronger the prescription needed—and the greater the long-term risks to eye health, including retinal detachment and glaucoma.
MiSight lenses work by:
- Providing clear distance vision through the center of the lens
- Slowing the progression of myopia with its outer treatment zones
- Offering a comfortable, child-friendly experience (no cleaning, no hassle—just wear and toss daily)
What Are the Goals of MiSight Treatment?
When we recommend MiSight, we’re thinking beyond today’s vision needs. The goal is to protect your child’s future eye health. Here’s what MiSight aims to do:
- Slow myopia progression over time
- Reduce the risk of high myopia and its complications
- Help your child perform better in school, sports, and daily life
- Offer freedom from thick glasses or vision struggles

Real-Life Success Stories
Parents who choose MiSight for their kids often see amazing changes—not just in prescription stability, but in confidence and comfort too. One of our young patients went over a year without needing a stronger prescription, and their parents were thrilled to stop the every-six-month glasses upgrade.
