Trust is at the heart of every treatment decision for a child with myopia. For eye care professionals (ECPs), they can trust the science behind myopia control contact lenses.1 After all, MiSight® 1 day* has been carefully vetted, worn worldwide by 225,000 kids and counting,2 and proven to help slow myopia progression in children.†1 Beyond the studies and telling statistics, ECPs can trust another given: parents trust their eye doctor and want the best treatment for their child. Simply put, parents want MiSight® 1 day.

Just consider what we know: 

  • 7 out of 10 families will purchase treatment when their ECP prescribes MiSight® 1 day.3 Further, once a parent learns about MiSight® 1 day, 80% will act to learn more within a month.‡4
  • For the parents of spectacle lens wearing kids, 70% struggle to make sure that their child wears their glasses,5 Getting enough hours of wear, of course, is key since it directly correlates to the efficacy of myopia treatment, whether that’s myopia control soft contact lenses or glasses.6,7
  • From the dance recital stage to the basketball court, MiSight® 1 day contact lenses offer “always-on” myopia control because children wear them all day, and myopia control contact lenses don't get in the way of active lifestyles.§8
  • Finally, MiSight® 1 day can be the bridge that grows the ever-important doctor-patient relationship: 87% of MiSight® 1 day prescribing ECPs agree that prescribing MiSight® 1 day to patients with myopia has strengthened their relationship with those families. à3

The lens is to be discarded after each removal.
