Daytime contacts that also slow myopia.

Dual-focus contact lenses — including FDA-approved MiSight 1-day lenses — are daily disposable soft contacts designed to correct vision and slow myopia progression at the same time. For families looking at MiSight lenses in Monroe Township or myopia control contacts for teens in New Jersey, they offer a convenient daytime option.

MiSight is the first and only soft contact lens FDA-approved specifically for myopia control in children, first fit around ages 8–12. At Monroe Eye Care we fit dual-focus lenses and monitor progress with regular corneal and axial length measurements.

How it works

Correction and treatment in one lens.

A dual-focus lens has two zones. A central zone corrects your child’s distance vision, while a surrounding treatment zone creates a myopic defocus signal around the retina. That peripheral signal tells the eye to slow its elongation — the growth that drives worsening nearsightedness — while central vision stays clear.

For active kids & teens

A great fit for busy, on-the-go kids.

Because they are worn during the day and thrown away each night, dual-focus lenses are ideal for children and teens who play sports, don’t want to wear glasses, or want freedom from frames — with none of the cleaning routine of reusable contacts.

Frequently asked

Questions parents ask.

Are contact lenses safe for kids?

Yes. Studies show children can wear daily disposable soft lenses safely and responsibly. Daily lenses lower infection risk because a fresh, sterile pair is used each day, and we teach proper handling at the fitting.

What is myopic defocus?

It is a focusing signal created in the periphery of the retina that tells the eye to stop growing longer. Dual-focus lenses are engineered to produce this signal while keeping your child’s central vision clear.

How often do we need follow-up visits?

We typically see your child at the initial fitting, a short follow-up soon after, and then every 6 months to check fit, vision, and how well progression is being controlled.

Can dual-focus lenses be combined with atropine?

In some cases, yes. Combining treatments can improve results for fast-progressing myopia. Dr. Miglani will recommend the best combination for your child.
