MiYOSMART: A Smart Approach To Managing Child Myopia

Are you preparing for keratoconus surgery and wondering what the road to recovery after corneal cross linking will look like? While the procedure is a significant step towards stabilizing your vision, the journey doesn’t end in the operating room. Post-operative care is crucial to ensuring the best possible outcome, and that’s where your optometrist plays a vital role in co-management.

How do you make sense of the results from your keratoconus eye tests? One of the key tools we use is corneal topography, which creates a detailed map of your cornea’s shape. If keratoconus is present, this map will reveal a distinctive cone-like bulge, indicating areas where the cornea is thinning and protruding.

There are various types of contact lenses available for keratoconus, each suited to different stages and severities of the condition. Understanding the options can help you make an informed decision about your treatment. The key to managing keratoconus with contact lenses lies in custom fitting.

MiSight 1-Day contact lenses are an innovative eyewear solution designed specifically to address myopic eyesight deterioration. These lenses were introduced globally in 2016 and have since been widely adopted, including here in Australia. At the core of MiSight’s effectiveness is ActivControl® Technology.

What makes MiSight contact lenses an excellent choice for managing myopia in children? Introduced to the Australian market in 2016, MiSight lenses have revolutionized the approach to myopia control with their innovative dual-focus technology. This technology is designed to not only correct vision but also to slow down the progression of myopia in children.

Myopia contact lenses are similar to regular lenses, in that they correct for short sighted vision errors. But MiSight lenses also reduce the stimulus for eyeball elongation, which is the source of myopia – a common problem in children today, with potentially serious long term negative consequences.
