CooperVision Misight
Eye Care Professionals Can Begin Fitting the World’s First One-Day Soft Contact Lens Shown to Substantially Slow the Progression of Myopia in Children. Millions of children across Canada are poised to benefit from a breakthrough therapy that addresses the fast-growing issue of myopia (nearsightedness), which is projected to negatively affect more than 50 percent of the world’s population by 2050. CooperVision MiSight® 1 day contact lenses are now available for fitting by Eye Care Professionals. An American brand, it is the world’s first one-day soft contact lens clinically proven to substantially slow the progression of myopia in children.
CooperVision Proclear
Proclear by CooperVision are a line of daily-disposable contact lenses with options available for nearly every corrective lens prescription need, including options for astigmatism. Designed in USA, they feature Phosphorylcholine, a material that attracts water and encourages healthy eye hydration.
What Are Contact Lenses?
Contact lenses are small, lightweight medical devices that sit directly on the eye, floating on the tear film. They correct common refractive errors — just like glasses — but come with a few everyday advantages that many people find hard to give up.
Here’s what makes them worth considering:
They move naturally with your eye, offering a more seamless field of vision than frames can provide.
No fogging, no smudging, no adjusting — especially handy on cold or rainy days.
A well-fitted lens stays comfortably in place, giving you better peripheral vision during sports and physical activity.
Contact lens wearers have the freedom to pick up a great pair of sunglasses without needing a prescription — and many lens options also offer added UV protection.
Certain specialty lenses are designed to help slow myopia progression in children, making them a great conversation to have with an eye doctor near you at IndividualEyes.
Whether you’re new to contacts or revisiting the idea, our team is happy to walk you through everything at your next visit.
The Exam
A contact lens exam is very similar to regular eye exams, but includes a few extra tests. These tests are intended to determine your vision prescription and assess your overall eye health for long-term contact lens wear.
The Fitting
There’s no one-size-fits-all contact lens. So we’ll also perform a thorough contact lens fitting to find you the best size and shape for your unique eyes.
We take measurements of your pupils and irises and use corneal topography to create a detailed map of the surface of your eyes.
The fitting also includes a discussion of your lifestyle, habits, and preferences. With this information and your measurements, we can recommend a style and brand of contact lens we believe will be just right for you.
Contact Lens Use & Care
Although every lens is different, they all require regular, thorough cleaning and proper storage. We’ll teach you how to care for your lenses properly and show you how to insert, remove, and store them.
Proper care and maintenance of your new lenses will extend their life and help prevent eye infections and other complications.
Finding Your Contact Lenses
It can take a bit of trial and error to find the right contact lens. We’re happy to make any adjustments if the lenses we suggested aren’t working. Our primary goals are to ensure you’re happy with your contacts and that your eyes remain healthy and comfortable.
Give us a call any time to book a contact lens exam or ask any questions.
FAQs
Can I see an optometrist near me for a contact lens fitting, or do I need a separate appointment?
Yes — at IndividualEyes, we offer dedicated contact lens exams and fittings at both our Bolton and Richmond Hill locations. A contact lens exam is separate from a regular eye exam, as it includes additional measurements to ensure your lenses fit comfortably and correctly.
Do I need an eye exam before getting contact lenses?
You do. A current prescription and a proper contact lens fitting are both required before we can fit you with lenses. This ensures your contacts are safe, comfortable, and right for your eyes. If you’re due for a checkup, we make it easy to book both appointments together.
What contact lens brands do you carry at your optical near Bolton and Richmond Hill?
We carry a wide selection of trusted contact lens brands to suit different prescriptions, lifestyles, and wearing preferences — from daily disposables to extended wear lenses. Our team will help you find the right brand and style during your fitting.
I’ve never worn contacts before — can a vision doctor near me walk me through the process?
Absolutely. Our optometrists are experienced in fitting first-time contact lens wearers and will guide you through everything — from inserting and removing your lenses to proper care and maintenance — so you feel confident right from the start.
