MiSight Contact Lenses for Myopia Control in Colorado Springs

Myopia, also called nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common in children. When a child has myopia, distant objects appear blurry while nearby objects remain clear. Over time, myopia often continues to worsen as a child grows.

At Bettner Vision, we offer MiSight contact lenses, an FDA-approved treatment designed to help slow the progression of myopia in children. These specialized soft contact lenses provide clear vision while helping manage the long-term changes that cause nearsightedness to worsen.

What Is Myopia?

Myopia occurs when the eye grows slightly longer than normal or when the cornea is too curved. This causes light entering the eye to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.

As a result, distant objects appear blurry while close-up tasks like reading or using digital devices remain clear.

Myopia often begins during childhood and may progress each year as the eyes continue to develop. Common signs of myopia in children include:

Squinting to see distant objects

Sitting very close to screens or books

Difficulty seeing the board at school

Frequent headaches or eye strain

Complaints of blurry distance vision

Early diagnosis allows for treatment strategies that may help slow the progression of myopia.

What Are MiSight Contact Lenses?

MiSight contact lenses are specially designed daily-disposable soft lenses for children with myopia.

Unlike traditional contact lenses that only correct vision, MiSight lenses use a unique optical design that both corrects blurry distance vision and helps slow the progression of myopia over time.

The lenses work by delivering clear central vision while simultaneously creating a treatment zone that signals the eye to slow its growth. This approach has been clinically shown to reduce the rate at which myopia worsens in many children.

Because they are daily-disposable lenses, a fresh, sterile pair is used each day. This can make lens care simpler and more convenient for children and parents.

Is Your Child a Candidate for MiSight Lenses?

MiSight contact lenses are typically recommended for children who:

Are between the ages of 8 and 12 when starting treatment
Have been diagnosed with myopia
Are able to safely handle contact lenses with guidance

Many children adapt to contact lenses quickly. During the fitting process, our eye care team carefully teaches children how to insert, remove, and handle their lenses safely.

Parents are also involved throughout the process to ensure their child feels confident and comfortable with the routine.
