What is myopia?
Myopia is a common eye condition. Its most frequent symptom is nearsightedness, or the inability to see objects clearly at a distance.
The reason objects are blurry in the distance with nearsightedness is because the eye becomes longer as the child grows.

The lens is to be discarded after each removal. Warnings: Problems with contact lenses could result in serious injury to the eye. Do not expose contact lenses to water while wearing them. Under certain circumstances MiSight® lenses optical design can cause reduced image contrast/ghosting/halo/glare in some patients that may cause difficulties with certain visually-demanding tasks.
