MiSight Myopia Control Contact Lenses for Children

What is Myopia?

Myopia is a progressive and irreversible eye disease. Its common vision symptom is nearsightedness or the inability to see distant objects clearly. The underlying cause of myopia is due to the eye growing longer than it should.

What causes Myopia?

When parents have myopia, their genetic risk may be passed along to their children. The likelihood of children developing myopia is:

• 1 in 2 when both parents have myopia
• 1 in 3 when one parent has myopia
• 1 in 4 when neither parent has myopia

Research shows that modern lifestyles may influence the development of myopia:

• Insufficient time spent outdoors
• Prolonged time spent reading and playing or working with digital devices, like smartphones or tablets
• Poor lighting levels

What are the long-term implications of myopia?

• 96% of childhood onset myopia worsens as the child grows
• Myopia progression, left untreated, increases the risk of sight-threatening conditions later in life, including:
• Retinal detachment
• Myopic maculopathy
• Glaucoma
• Cataracts
• Wearing glasses with stronger and stronger increased prescriptions can impact child’s learning, participation in sports/activities, and their overall confidence level.

What is MiSight 1 day?

By including both vision correction and treatment zones in the lens, it simultaneously corrects your child’s vision today, while signaling the eye to resist getting longer, with the goal of preserving vision for the future:

• MiSight 1 day both corrects vision and slows the progression of myopia. It is a single use lens: a safe and convenient way to wear contact lenses. 

• MiSight 1 day is the first and only FDA-approved* daily disposable soft contact lens proven to slow the progression of myopia in children, aged 8-12 at initiation of treatment.

How effective is MiSight 1 day?

In the pivotal clinical trial, MiSight 1 day contact lens slowed the progression of myopia in age-appropriate children by 59% on average, slowed axial length elongation by 52% on average, and 41% of eyes had no progression.

Age-appropriate children wearing MiSight 1 day contact lens progressed less than -1.00D on average over 6 years. Year 7 results from the international MiSight 1 day clinical study found that the mean axial elongation showed no evidence of rebound-myopia control treatment gains were retained over 12 months after treatment ceased
