You’re listening to ReachMD. This medical industry feature, titled “QuickStart™ Myopia Minute: The Benefits, Comfort, and Safety of MiSight® 1 day” is sponsored by CooperVision. Here’s Dr. Eric Ritchey.
Dr. Ritchey:
So if I were talking to a parent about prescribing MiSight®, one of the things I’d tell them is that, you know, “This is a daily disposable lens, and one of things we’re always worried about with contact lenses is keeping them clean and keeping kids safe, so MiSight® gives you a great option because you put the lens in during the day, they're going to see clearly during the day, and they can take it out at night. It's very comfortable, and they tolerate the vision well.”
MiSight® contact lenses bring two main benefits. The one benefit we all think of as contact lens wearers is it frees us from our glasses, gives us better peripheral vision, no fogging of our lenses when we're wearing glasses, and that's great. Another thing it gives you is the potential to slow the progression of myopia, and that's huge, because we know if we have excessive progression, our eye gets longer, and as the eye gets longer, we tend to see more diseases like retinal detachments, higher risk for glaucoma and cataracts.
