Understanding MiSight 1 Day
About MiSight 1 Day
MiSight 1 day by CooperVision is the only soft contact lens with FDA approval (PMA P180035, November 15, 2019) specifically for slowing myopia progression in children ages 8 to 12 at the start of treatment. The landmark Chamberlain 2019 study (Optometry and Vision Science, 3-year RCT) showed 59% less myopia progression and 52% less axial elongation compared to standard soft contacts. As daily disposables, MiSight lenses require no cleaning or storage — children insert a fresh pair each morning and discard at night.
