Learn about how MiSight® 1 day* can help slow myopia progression in age-appropriate kids.†1
If your child has been diagnosed with myopia (also known as nearsightedness), you likely have questions about myopia treatment options that are available for your child and how effective these treatments are in helping to stop your child’s vision from getting worse.
As a parent, you want what’s best for your child. If your son or daughter has blurry distance vision that’s associated with myopia, that includes choosing the best treatment to help them not only see clearly, but also put them on the best path for success in school and reaching their future goals, no matter how big their dreams.
MiSight® 1 day is the first and only one for myopia control in age-appropriate children.*‡ But you might still be wondering what the differences are between MiSight® 1 day other alternative myopia management treatment options.
Here are the top 5 benefits that are unique to MiSight® 1 day daily soft contact lenses.
1. FDA-Approved*
MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses are the first FDA-approved* product that are proven to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8-12 at the initiation of treatment.†1
Furthermore, MiSight® 1 day contact lenses are specifically designed for age-appropriate children* with myopia, backed by rigorous scientific evidence, and have received regulatory approvals in many countries around the world.1-3
2. Designed for Myopia Control
Unlike a correction option alone, MiSight® 1 day contact lenses offer wearers a unique two-in-one benefit; they correct blurry distance vision (nearsightedness) and help control the progression of myopia in age-appropriate children.†1
3. ActivControl® Technology
The key to delivering the dual benefits of MiSight® 1 day is ActivControl® Technology which uses an innovative optic zone ring design with alternating vision and correction zones:
Two corrections zones to correct myopia so age-appropriate children can enjoy clear, spectacle-free vision.†1
Two treatment zones create a myopic defocus, so instead of light rays falling short of the retina, images focus at the front of the retina. This treatment effect signals the eye to slow the rate at which it grows longer, minimizing the worsening of myopia over time.

4. Longest continuous soft contact lens study for myopia control.
MiSight® 1 day is backed by the longest continuous soft contact lens study for myopia control.
In over 7 years of international clinical study, results show that the mean axial elongation showed no evidence of rebound; meaning myopia control benefits from MiSight® 1 day are retained with further eye growth reverting back to age-expected average myopic progression rates after treatment has ended.§3,4
Over the initial three years of the study, MiSight® 1 day slowed myopia progression in children by 59% on average,†1 and 41% of eyes had no progression.|2 Additionally, on average, children in the study wearing MiSight® progressed less than -1.00 diopter over 6 years,¶2
5. Proven to be child-friendly and easy to use for age-appropriate children.1
Kids interests change all the time, but families can now turn to MiSight® 1 day to help protect their vision from changing too.*†**1,5
Myopia is irreversible and typically progresses rapidly in younger children,6 but with MiSight®1 day,* children can get the clear vision they need today to participate in school, sports, and many other extracurricular activities while helping to protect it from getting worse for whatever’s in their future.**††1,5
MiSight® 1 day has also been proven to be child-friendly and easy to use for age-appropriate children.1 In fact, children as young as 8 years old have shown they are able to handle their lenses confidently soon after an initial fitting.‡‡1
In addition to the clinical benefits, studies show that contact lens wear is likely to improve a child’s self-perception of their physical appearance, athletic competence, and social acceptance.7

* INDICATIONS AND BRIEF SAFETY INFORMATION for MiSight® 1 day soft contact lens:
INDICATIONS:
MiSight® 1 Day (omafilcon A) Soft (Hydrophilic) Contact Lenses for Daily Wear is a prescription device indicated for the correction of nearsightedness and for slowing the progression of nearsightedness in children with non-diseased eyes, who at the initiation of treatment are 8-12 years of age and have a refraction of -0.75 to -4.00 diopters (spherical equivalent) with ≤ 0.75 diopters of astigmatism
BRIEF SAFETY INFORMATION:
Rx only; results may vary.
ATTENTION: Reference MiSight.com/safety for a complete listing of Indications and Important Safety Information.
INDICATIONS: MiSight® 1 day (omafilcon A) soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses for daily wear are indicated for the correction of myopic ametropia and for slowing the progression of myopia in children with non-diseased eyes, who at the initiation of treatment are 8-12 years of age and have a refraction of -0.75 to -4.00 diopters (spherical equivalent) with ≤ 0.75 diopters of astigmatism. The lens is to be discarded after each removal.
WARNINGS: Problems with contact lenses could result in serious injury to the eye. Do not expose contact lenses to water while wearing them. Under certain circumstances MiSight® lenses optical design can cause reduced image contrast/ghosting/halo/glare in some patients that may cause difficulty with certain visually-demanding tasks.
PRECAUTIONS: Daily wear single use only. Patient should always dispose when lenses are removed. No overnight wear. Patients should exercise extra care if performing potentially hazardous activities.
ADVERSE EVENTS: Including but not limited to infection/inflammation/ulceration/abrasion of the cornea, other parts of the eye or eyelids. Some of these adverse reactions can cause permanent or temporary loss of vision. If you notice any of the stated in your child, immediately have your child remove the lenses and contact your eye care professional.
‡‡ National rebate: *Available on purchases between 1/1/26-12/31/26. Must submit rebate form within 60 days of lens purchase.
† Compared to a single vision 1 day lens over a 3-year period.
‡ Only FDA approved soft contact lens designed for myopia control in the U.S.
§ Preliminary international study data shows that, on average, for children that discontinued treatment at age 14-19 following 3 or 6 years of MiSight® 1 day wear, the eye growth reverted to age-expected average myopic progression rates. Disclaimer: The stability of the myopia reduction effect 1-year post-treatment is being further evaluated in a post-approval study in the U.S. as a condition of FDA approval for MiSight® 1 day.
