MiSight 1 Day lenses by CooperVision use a dual-focus optical design called ActivControl Technology. The lens contains alternating concentric zones: correction zones that provide clear distance vision, and treatment zones that create myopic defocus in front of the peripheral retina.
This controlled peripheral defocus sends a biological signal to the eye that discourages excessive axial elongation — the primary mechanism behind worsening myopia. The result is clear vision today and slower prescription growth over time.
In the landmark clinical trial, children wearing MiSight lenses experienced approximately 59 percent less refractive progression and 52 percent less axial length growth compared to those wearing standard single-vision contact lenses. Ninety percent of myopic eyes responded to treatment with slowed progression, and approximately 20 percent of patients experienced not just slowed progression but a small clinically meaningful reversal of myopia during their first year of treatment. Seven-year follow-up data confirmed that treatment gains are not lost once a patient stops wearing the lenses — making MiSight the most robustly studied soft contact lens in myopia control, and the first to earn FDA approval for slowing myopia in children.
FDA first: MiSight 1 Day is the first soft contact lens approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration specifically to slow the progression of myopia in children.

Why Parents Choose MiSight
~59% refractive slowing, ~52% axial length reduction, 90% responder rate, and 7-year data proving treatment gains are retained.
Fresh, sterile lens every day — no cleaning solutions, no storage cases, no overnight maintenance.
90 percent of children in the MiSight trial preferred contacts over glasses and managed them independently.
Rigorously reviewed and approved by the FDA for both vision correction and myopia progression slowing.
Made from a proven soft lens material that keeps eyes comfortable throughout the school day and beyond.
Unlike ortho-k, MiSight provides immediate clear vision from the first lens — no reshaping transition.

Frequently Asked Questions
MiSight 1 Day lenses look and feel like standard soft daily disposables, but they contain concentric ring zones using CooperVision's ActivControl Technology. These zones simultaneously correct distance vision and create peripheral defocus that signals the eye to slow elongation. Regular contacts only correct vision — they do nothing to slow myopia progression.
Yes. Clinical research shows that children as young as 8 can successfully insert, remove, and care for daily disposable contact lenses. In the MiSight clinical trial, 90 percent of children preferred their contact lenses over glasses. Dr. Patel's team provides thorough hands-on training until both you and your child feel confident.
Daily disposable lenses are the safest modality for children. There is no cleaning, no storage case, and no overnight solution to manage. Your child inserts a fresh, sterile lens each morning and discards it at night — dramatically reducing the risk of infection compared to reusable lenses.
Your child will see clearly from the first day of wear. The myopia-slowing effect is measured over time through periodic prescription checks and axial length measurements. The MiSight clinical trial showed a 59 percent reduction in refractive progression and 52 percent reduction in axial length growth, with 90 percent of myopic eyes responding to treatment. Approximately 20 percent of patients saw a small reversal of myopia in the first year. Seven-year data confirmed that these treatment gains are retained even after discontinuing wear.
MiSight lenses are priced similarly to other premium daily disposable contact lenses. Some vision insurance plans offer partial coverage. CooperVision also offers a rebate program for MiSight wearers. Our team will review your benefits and provide a clear cost breakdown at your consultation.
