My child is having spherical power -3.75 spherical on both eyes and 0.5 cylinderical on one eye. He has started using atrophine drops 3 days back and he is going to get miyosmart glass. My concern is whether atrophine drops will harm him in astimagitism of 0.5 D in one eye. Please reply. HE is 11 year old.
Thank you for the helpful information. I was going to ask you if these contact lenses were available in the US, but unfortunately they wouldn't work for my daughter. Her prescription is -7.75 in her left eye and -5.75 in her right eye, and I know she has a stigmatism in both of her eyes. I enjoy your videos on myopia control.
Depending on the age of your daughter, you can consider using multi-focal soft contact lenses as a way to correct and control myopia for her. Although not achieving as high of a rate of myopia control as MiSight lenses, it does show clinically significant myopia control effects over children wearing traditional single vision glasses or contact lenses. Your daughter does need to be old enough to safely insert and remove the contacts herself (at least 8yrs old+).

@@mommydear Thank you so much. Yes, that does help. She was 10 at her last eye exam, but she's 11 now. I will talk to her about contacts and see what she thinks. At her last eye exam she couldn't stand the thought of having to stick anything in her eye, but now that she's a little older she might be okay with it?
@@kingcorgi7710 No, I haven't. She can't stand the thought of sticking something in her eyes. Last time she was at the optometrist she said her eyes are pretty stable.
@@TruckDriver2005depending on your daughter's astigmatism, she could potentially either use Naturalvue Multifocal, Biofinity Toric Multifocal or Mylo Toric. Ask your ECP. Sincerely, an optometrist
I had to find your latest video to comment on a video that you disabled comments on. Understandably, cos it's one of the most controversial topics amongst mothers all around the world.

Hi, doctor. Today I got my contact lenses for myopia control and I’m very happy. I used to do ortho k, but disliked it. But I have a question, how many hours do you have to wear this contract lenses?
Based on the clinical study, MiSight lenses should be worn for a minimum of 10 hours per day for at least 6 days per week. They are not recommended for overnight wear.
Hi, I am not not of what to do at this moment. We wanted to try the Misight contact lens for my daughter, though I didn't know that it has to be up until-6. Her prescription was -7.75 and she couldn't fit the contact lens at 8 years old. So we were asked to go for MiyoSmart glasses which works equally to slow down the progression. She is 10 years old now and her prescription is at -9.25 on the right and left is -8.25. I am confused on what to do at this point. Please respond. Thanks
Please read my response to a similar case in the comments to this video to an account called ‘AJ’ regarding multi-focal contact lenses as a possible means for myopia control for children with high myopia. Hope it helps!
My daughter she’s 16 years old and she currently using ortho-k. Is she good candidate for MiSight 1 day.. The reason why I want her to change to MiSight because she doesn’t wear her ortho-K lenses for 8 hours during school day. Please advise me what’s best way to do for her eye. Thanks
For proper assessment of whether your daughter is a good candidate for MiSight lenses, you would need to have her seen by a local optometrist that dispenses MiSight lenses. The major consideration is whether her prescription (after she stops wearing orthokeratology lenses) is within the range that MiSight lenses can correct for. The optometrist will answer that for you.
There is no correction of astigmatism with MiSight lenses. Once the cylinder in the child’s prescription reaches a significant level (~ -1.00D and above), vision will likely be compromised when the astigmatism is not corrected for. If MiYOSMART lenses are not available where you are, you may consider multifocal contacts as a good alternative method of myopia control for your child. You can learn more about this option with the articles below: www.reviewofoptometry.com/article/add-multifocals-to-your-myopia-toolbox www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/multifocal-contact-lenses-slow-myopia-progression-children
@@tango9944 It is not the ideal method since your child's astigmatism exceeds -0.75D and MiSight does not come with astigmatism correction. That is why it might be helpful to consider the multifocal contact lenses instead for myopia control for your child. Please refer to my previous response to access the research behind it.
Very well presented, clear, concise and. useful information for patients and parents. Thanks !
Thanks for the support! It makes all the effort worthwhile if I can do exactly as you describe :)

Thank you Doctor Huang, is Diopter the same as Cylinder shown in the prescription ?
Not sure if I will understand your question, but cylinder as shown on a glasses script is measured in diopters indeed.

Thanks for your response. I have read the response to AJ. Can the Multifocal contact lens be combined with the low dose atropine?
My daughter she’s 16 years old and she currently using ortho-k. Is she good candidate for MiSight 1 day.. The reason why I want her to change to MiSight because she doesn’t wear her ortho-K lenses for 8 hours during school day. Please advise me what’s best way to do for her eye. Thanks

Dr. Huang, according to your video if an 8 years old child with SPHERE = - 2.0, CYL = -1.0 does not qualify for MiSight treatment. Is that correct ?
There is no correction of astigmatism with MiSight lenses. Once the cylinder in the child’s prescription reaches a significant level (~ -1.00D and above), vision will likely be compromised when the astigmatism is not corrected for.

Hi! I am an adult, an my myopia is increasing. Does this lenses function for me? Thanks 🙏🏻 or what do you recommend to an adult?
