How MiSight ActivControl Technology Works
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.

Benefits of MiSight 1 Day
Most Robust Evidence
~59% refractive slowing, ~52% axial length reduction, 90% responder rate, and 7-year data proving treatment gains are retained.
Daily Disposable
Fresh, sterile lens every day — no cleaning solutions, no storage cases, no overnight maintenance.
Kids Love Them
90 percent of children in the MiSight trial preferred contacts over glasses and managed them independently.
FDA Approved
Rigorously reviewed and approved by the FDA for both vision correction and myopia progression slowing.
