Benefits of MiSight®
- Reducing myopic progression gives better vision when not wearing glasses or contact lenses
- Reduces the chance of developing high levels of myopia (-6.00D
or more) which may lower the incidence of eye diseases associated with short sightedness such as retinal detachment and glaucoma3
- May improve the self-esteem of children and teenagers in terms of their ability to participate in sporting activities and their social acceptance4,5
- Daily disposable lenses mean there's no cleaning, disinfection or worrying about lost lenses so looking after them is very easy.
- The Proclear® material has been shown to have low dehydration rates, delivers suitable oxygen transmission for daily wear and provide good all day comfort and eye health6,7,8
