MiSight 1 day is an FDA-approved soft contact lens designed to both correct childhood myopia and slow its progression. This clinical guide walks optometrists through patient selection, baseline testing, lens fitting, axial-length monitoring, follow-up intervals, troubleshooting, and treatment-response decisions—from the first consultation through long-term management.

Modern myopia management requires more than monitoring a child’s spectacle prescription. This clinician-focused guide reviews how optometrists can interpret axial elongation, establish treatment targets, fit MiSight contact lenses, select low-dose atropine concentrations, evaluate orthokeratology topography, identify inadequate treatment response, consider combination therapy, and establish appropriate follow-up intervals.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome affects connective tissue throughout the body, including parts of the eye. Here’s what patients should know about vision changes, dry eye, corneal problems, and warning signs.

This clinician-friendly review breaks down how each refractive error changes the focal point of light, why symptoms may vary between patients, and what optometrists should consider when prescribing lenses, evaluati
