What is myopia?
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a condition where the eyeball grows too long and results in blurry distance vision. In children and young adults, progressive myopia significantly increases the risk of severe sight-threatening conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinal detachment and cataracts.
Why are myopia cases increasing at an alarming rate, especially among school-aged children?
The reason for escalation has been linked to two factors:
There is now a clinically proven way to both correct vision and slow the progression of myopia in young children, aged 8-12 at the initiation of treatment.
The Brilliant Futures Myopia Management Program with MiSight 1 day contact lenses, when your child is ages 8-12, may provide a wide-range of benefits including:
Go beyond vison correction with a comprehensive approach to myopia management, designed to fit busy lifestyles and offer you and your child the support you need.

Why are myopia cases increasing at an alarming rate, especially among school-aged children?
The reason for escalation has been linked to two factors:
- Genetics: Family history plays a role in your child's risk of myopia. The likelihood of children developing nearsightedness increases if their parents have myopia.
- Lifestyle: Research shows that modern lifestyles including less time outdoors, poor lighting environments, and more time on digital devices may also influence the development of myopia.
