[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are using the multi-focal daily lens for myopia control.   We have had very good success.  My oldest has been wearing contacts for 4 years now.  When we started, she was 2.50 and she is now at 4.0.  Both my DH and I are -11.   Keep in mind, it doesn't stop myopia, just slows it down.

$4k seems like a lot.  We are in VA and pay $950 for a year of treatment. This includes 4 visits and a years worth of contacts.

My youngest is also getting the same treatment, but we might need to switch lenses.  The newer lenses are more expensive, almost double the cost.  So, if we go this route, it will go up, but still not up to $4k a year.  [/quote]

What is the name of the treatment? It's hard to know if it's legit if we don't know what it is.

DS9 has been having success with MiSight contacts and has stayed at 3.0 for 2 years. They cost $2k the first year and $1k every additional year. I contribute to FSA specifically knowing we will have this expense, and the company (Cooper?) usually has a rebate program, plus a tiny bit covered by vision insurance, so the actual out of pocket is closer to $600-700.

I'd be skeptical of $4k a year.[/quote]
