The impact of myopia, or nearsightedness, on your age-appropriate child’s future potential has already begun. Ask your eye care professional about MiSight® 1 day and how it may help protect their vision from worsening.
Myopia has been linked to two factors: genetics and family history, as well as a modern lifestyle with insufficient time spent outdoors, poor lighting levels, and prolonged time spent on digital devices.1-3
Worsening myopia may contribute to more severe eye health complications and sight-threatening conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, myopic maculopathy, glaucoma and cataracts.4-7
*USA Indications for use: 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. Canadian Indications for use: MiSight (omafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses for Myopia Control may reduce the rate of myopia progression in children (6-18) and correct ametropia. Reduction of myopia progression was observed in children with wearing time of 12 hours (8-16 hours) per day, 6.4 days (5-7) per week in a clinical study. Permanent myopia control after lens treatment is discontinued is not supported by clinical studies. MiSight (omafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses for Myopia Control are indicated for single use daily disposable wear. When prescribed for daily disposable wear, the lens is to be discarded after each removal.
