Dr. Yecheskel’s Story
An optometrist’s first MiSight® 1 day* patient is her daughter
Hannah Yecheskel Neubauer, OD, has earned many awards during her two decades as an eye care professional, including landing consecutive top spots in Newsweek’s best eye doctors in the US list.
When her eight-year-old daughter Daniella was diagnosed with myopia, Dr. Neubauer trusted the science1 and FDA*† backing of MiSight® 1 day contact lenses so much, her child became her first patient.
"When Daniella was eight years old, she started noticing changes in her vision. And when I saw that, I was like, ‘Okay, there’s a lens that’s coming out: MiSight®,’” Dr. Neubauer says.
“It helps you see1-3 the world here and now, but it also stops myopia progression"*‡2, she adds.
