MiSight Myopia Control in Scottsdale, AZ

Your child's changing glasses prescription can be a sign that nearsightedness is progressing. At Eyes of North Scottsdale, we offer MiSight myopia control in Scottsdale, AZ, to help eligible children see clearly while slowing further progression. We begin with an eye exam to determine whether these daily disposable contact lenses fit your child's needs.

How MiSight Contact Lenses Work

MiSight 1 day lenses are soft contact lenses with separate zones for vision correction and myopia treatment. The correction zones help children see distant objects clearly, while the treatment zones create an optical signal that helps slow excessive eye growth associated with worsening myopia.

Myopia control does not cure nearsightedness or reverse an existing prescription. The goal is to reduce how quickly it progresses, and results vary from child to child.

Who Is a Candidate for MiSight

MiSight 1 day is FDA approved for children with healthy eyes who begin treatment between ages 8 and 12, with nearsightedness from -0.75 to -4.00 diopters in spherical equivalent and no more than 0.75 diopters of astigmatism.

We also consider your child's comfort with contact lenses, ability to follow hygiene instructions, and the support available at home. Our evaluation helps Scottsdale families understand whether MiSight is an appropriate option.

What to Expect at Your Child's Visit

We tailor myopia management to your child's vision and daily routine. During the evaluation and fitting process, we:

• Review prescription changes, eye health, and family history of myopia
• Assess whether MiSight lenses provide an appropriate fit and clear vision
• Teach your child how to insert, remove, and handle contact lenses safely
• Explain the recommended wearing schedule and follow-up visits

Daily Wear and Safe Lens Habits

MiSight lenses are worn during the day and discarded after each removal. A fresh pair eliminates the need for nightly cleaning and storage. Children should wash and dry their hands before handling lenses and never sleep, swim, or shower in them.

Consistent wear matters. We explain how to follow the prescribed schedule and build lens wear into your child's routine. If your child develops eye pain, redness, or vision changes, remove the lenses and contact us promptly.

Ongoing Myopia Management in Scottsdale

Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor prescription changes, check eye health, and assess lens comfort and fit. We review your child's response over time and discuss adjustments when needed. Myopia management is an ongoing process, so keeping scheduled visits is an important part of care.
