Anything that provides a 2:1 benefit may seem like an obvious choice since the item in question is designed to provide dual benefits within one solution.
Just consider these everyday examples: Energy efficient appliances can lower electric bills while also reducing environmental impact. A standing desk instead of the tried-and-true sit-down version can improve posture while also increasing energy and boosting work performance.
Of course, a parent’s selection of the best treatment option for their child with myopia involves much more consideration than opting for one of the above. Parents naturally want to know whether there’s a way to address the underlying condition, not just manage its day-to-day effects.
That’s where MiSight® 1 day* comes in. Unlike single vision contact lenses that only serve to correct a child’s refractive error, MiSight® 1 day is specifically designed to help children see clearly1-3 AND slow their myopia progression: a clear 2:1 benefit.2
On the other hand, treating myopia with single vision contact lenses is akin to putting a bucket under a leaky roof — a temporary fix, but it won’t stop the leak, which can lead to more severe problems down the road. In addition to the dual benefits with myopia control soft contact lenses, here are 5 other key reasons to start the myopia conversation with MiSight® 1 day.
1. Single-Vision CLs Let Myopia Worsen Unchecked
In a 3-year, multi-center, double-masked randomized clinical trial, children who wore MiSight® 1 day contact lenses experienced, on average, 59% less myopia progression compared to children in the control group who wore single vision contact lenses.†2
2. MiSight® 1 day Represents an Investment in a Child’s Future Eye Health
Since MiSight® 1 day is proven to slow the progression of myopia,2 this can in turn reduce the risk of high myopia which can lead to eye health complications down the road.4 As science tells us, every diopter matters.5
3. Myopia Control Provides More Predictable Care
MiSight® 1 day makes it more likely that fewer prescription increases are needed over time compared to standard single-vision lenses.‡6 Let parents know that myopia control lenses can help keep their child’s vision from getting worse as they grow.*†§2,7
4. Prescribing MiSight® 1 day Can Strengthen Parents’ Trust
MiSight® 1 day can position your practice as a community leader in pediatric myopia management. This distinction can help you build trust with families, which in turn, can strengthen the patient-doctor relationship.
