Myopia, also known as short-sightedness or nearsightedness, is an eye health issue that affects 40+ percent of Americans,¹ a number that includes more and more children every day. While the cause is partly genetic, lifestyle factors such as increased screen time, growing amounts of near work, and less time spent outdoors are also contributing to the childhood myopia epidemic.²𝄒³𝄒⁴ And because it’s a progressive disease, any delay in detection and treatment can potentially impact a child’s quality of life, including their ability to succeed in the classroom. No wonder 92% of Eye Care Professionals agree that it's important to help slow myopia progression at an early age (under 10 years old).⁵

For age-appropriate children with myopia, MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses may be able to help. They’re specifically designed for myopia control and are FDA approved* to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8-12 at the initiation of treatment.⁶† Your eye doctor measures refractive error in units called “diopters” (D). On average, children wearing MiSight® 1 day lenses progressed less than -1.00D over 6 years.⁷‡

*Indications and Important Safety Information
Rx only
Results may vary.
ATTENTION: Reference the Patient Information Booklet for a complete listing of Indications and Important Safety Information. *Indication: 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 difficulties 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.

†Compared to a single vision 1 day lens over a 3 year period.
‡Fitted at 8-12 years of age at initiation of treatment.
