MiSight 1 Day Myopia Control Contacts in Newport Beach, CA

MiSight is $1,300 to $1,500 per year at our practice for the annual supply of 730 daily disposable lenses, set by your child's prescription, plus $500 per year for the exam and all follow-up visits — $1,800 to $2,000 a year in total. Because the lenses are disposable, the cost is the same every year. For comparison, ortho-K for a standard fit is $2,400 to $2,800 in year one and $1,200 to $1,500 a year after that with fresh lenses included, so over four to six years a standard ortho-K fit costs the same or less than MiSight; families choose it for glasses-free, lens-free days.

The 3-year clinical trial (Chamberlain 2019, Optometry and Vision Science) showed 59% less myopia progression and 52% less axial elongation compared to children wearing standard soft contacts. These are among the strongest results for any soft lens myopia intervention.

MiSight is a daily disposable soft lens worn during the day. Ortho-K is a custom rigid lens worn overnight that reshapes the cornea for glasses-free daytime vision. MiSight is easier to start (no overnight wear), while Ortho-K offers freedom from daytime correction. We help families choose based on the child's age, prescription, and lifestyle.

Yes. MiSight lenses are soft daily disposables that stay in place during physical activity. Many parents choose MiSight specifically because their children are active in sports and prefer contacts over glasses.
