The Carazzana Family’s Story

When Cynthia Carazzana talks about her children, Alan and Juliet, she doesn’t begin with eye exams or diagnoses—she starts with who they are. Alan is active and thoughtful, always chasing a basketball. Juliet is outgoing, curious and eager to explore everything around her. Like many families, the Carazzanas never expected that childhood myopia would become part of their everyday story.

Alan was diagnosed with nearsightedness around second grade and began wearing glasses. At first, it seemed manageable. But over the years, Cynthia noticed a pattern: at every annual checkup, his prescription kept getting stronger. “Myopia was progressing every single year,” she says.

As parents, Cynthia and her family wanted to help—but didn’t always know what that help should look like. Glasses corrected Alan’s vision, but they didn’t address how quickly it was changing. And for a growing, sports-loving kid, glasses sometimes got in the way.

That changed when Alan’s eye doctor talked to the family about myopia management and suggested MiSight^® 1 day^* contact lenses when Alan was 12. For Cynthia, it felt like clarity—not just for Alan’s vision, but for their next step as a family.^1-3

Alan describes the shift simply: Switching from glasses to contact lenses was the biggest change he'd experienced.

According to his pediatric optometrist, his prescription stabilized after making the change, something that brought Cynthia reassurance at each follow-up visit.^†‡4

When Juliet later began developing myopia at age 11, Cynthia didn’t hesitate. Having already seen Alan’s progress, she felt confident addressing it early. Juliet remembers how hard it was to see details in the world before—and how different everything felt once she could.

“It was like seeing life through a professional camera,” she says.

Clearer vision affected more than what Juliet saw—it changed how she felt.^1-3

Sports were more enjoyable, and confidence came naturally.⁵

As Alan grew older, stable vision allowed him to focus on bigger milestones: learning to drive, planning for college, and gaining independence. For both kids, myopia no longer felt like a limitation—it was something they managed, together.

For Cynthia, the journey wasn’t about choosing a product. It was about choosing what felt right for her children’s long-term well-being

“I think the use of contact lenses has been a solution,” she says. “Something that actualy works.”

The Carazzana family’s story reflects what many parents experience as myopia in children becomes more common.⁶ With early attention, thoughtful care and open conversations, myopia becomes part of life—but not something that defines it.

In the end, their journey is about more than vision. It’s about confidence, independence and helping kids see the world^1-3—and their future—more clearly.^§1
