This video reviews MiSight Daily Disposable contacts which are used to for myopia control and myopia managment. It explains how Misight contacts work and the results for clinical studies on thier effectiveness in slowing down nearsightedness. It also introduces CooperVision's Brilliant Futures myopia management program.

Misight are a unique daily disposable soft contact lens manufactured by Coopervision. It is a truly unique product because it the only soft contact lens that is approved by the FDA to do 2 things: 1. Allow you to see clearly, which isn’t anything exciting…that’s what you expect from a contact lens and 2. Slow the progression of your myopia.

This lens is designed to slow the progression of myopia and since most of the progression of myopia occurs in between 8-12 years old that means this lens is designed exclusively to be worn by kids.

One common question I get from parents is if it is okay for kids to wear contact lenses and the answer is yes.
The there are 2 things that make this perfect for kids:
One is it’s a Daily disposable lens. The biggest enemy of contact lenses are lipids and proteins that stick on the lens that you can’t clean off with even the most rigorous cleaning. And these are more prevalent in teens. With a daily disposable lens we throw out the lens with every wear so no chance of building up deposits.

This material used for this lens is omafilcon….it’s the same material used for Coopervision’s Proclear family of lenses and it is a tried and true biocompatible material that binds water molucules to the surface making it very comfortable, resistant to drying and resistant to deposits. Perfect for kids.

And whats more, In the research study for Misight contact lenes, kids between the ages 8 and 12 wore these lens successfully all day, 6 days per week for 3 years. So that means it was safe for kids.

So misight contacts work on the principle of peripheral retinal defocus.

One theory in the progression of myopia has to do with how lenses focus images in the peripheral retinal. Traditional lenses focus images in the center of the retina but not in the peripheral parts of the retina. This defocus in the peripheral retina is thought to cause a stimulus for the eye to continue growing and increase myopia.

In a 3 year study it showed that missight contact lenses slowed the progression by almost 60%.
