Premium daily lenses, fitted to your life

Single-vision lenses correct near- or farsightedness. Toric lenses correct astigmatism. Multifocal lenses provide different focusing powers for presbyopia, the change in near focus that comes with age. Some prescriptions can combine multifocal and toric correction. A daily disposable lens is discarded after each day of wear.

ACUVUE’s MAX family includes TearStable moisture technology and an OptiBlue light filter. Filtering blue-violet light has not been shown to provide health benefits such as reducing eye strain or protecting the retina. UV-blocking contacts do not replace sunglasses.

MiSight for myopia management

For eligible children, MiSight 1 day does more than correct blur: its dual-focus design is intended to slow myopia progression. We fit it as part of a monitored program. Compare MiSight with Stellest glasses and 0.05% atropine, with links to the clinical trials.

Specialty contact lenses

Our doctors also provide specialty fittings, including scleral lenses. We assess the cornea, prescription, and comfort needs before recommending a design. Meet our doctors or ask about an evaluation.

Learn how to wear and care for lenses

Wash and dry your hands before handling lenses. Keep contacts away from water, remove them before sleeping unless specifically prescribed otherwise, and never reuse a daily disposable lens. If you develop pain, redness, light sensitivity, or blurred vision, remove your lenses and contact an eye-care professional promptly. CDC contact-lens care guidance.

PRACTICAL ANSWERS

Common questions

Which daily disposable contact lenses does Midtown discuss?

Our guide starts with ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day and other premium ACUVUE daily options, followed by additional daily lenses and MiSight for eligible children in myopia management. Availability and suitability depend on the exact prescription and lens design.

Do you fit multifocal, astigmatism, or scleral contact lenses?

Yes. Midtown provides toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal fittings for near and distance needs, and specialty fittings including scleral lenses. Dr. Ayesha Burns focuses on pediatric care and specialty contact-lens fittings.

Can my child use MiSight to slow myopia?

MiSight is an option for children who meet its treatment criteria and can wear and care for lenses safely. We assess prescription, eye health, and progression and discuss it alongside Stellest and atropine.

Compare myopia-management options →
Can I swim or shower in daily disposable contacts?

No. Remove contact lenses before swimming, surfing, showering, or using a hot tub. Daily disposal does not eliminate water-related infection risk. Pain, redness, light sensitivity, or sudden blur while wearing contacts needs prompt advice.

These educational resources support a conversation with your eye doctor. Your examination and medical history guide individual treatment decisions.
