Myopia is Becoming Increasingly Common Among Kids and Adults, an epidemic according to the American Academy of Optometry and the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Nearly 50% of North America’s population will have myopia by 2030.

Dr. Felicia Timmermann teaches us about MiSight 1-Day, the FDA-approved treatment on the market that slows the worsening of Myopia.

MiSight 1-Day is a daily disposable soft contact lens that doesn’t just help a child see clearly, it also keeps myopia from getting worse so quickly. They were approved and studied to be worn by children as young as 8.

Dr. Felicia Timmermann is a pediatric optometrist and a member of the professional and academic affairs team at CooperVision, where she serves as the manager of myopia management.
