MiSight 1 Day Contact Lenses for Nearsightedness
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to confirm the effectiveness of a special daily contact lens, MiSight 1 Day, in reducing nearsightedness (myopia) and to assess the stability of results over a year. The study will compare these lenses with another type of daily contact lens. It seeks children aged 8-12 with mild to moderate nearsightedness who are interested in wearing contact lenses most days of the week. Participants should not have used other myopia treatments or have eye conditions like severe dry eyes or infections. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative research in managing myopia in children.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial requires that you do not use any medications that might interfere with contact lens wear, pupil size, or refractive state. If you are using such medications, you may need to stop them to participate.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that MiSight 1 Day contact lenses are safe and comfortable for children. Studies have found that children as young as 8 years old can wear these lenses without major problems. The FDA has approved the lenses, indicating they have been tested for safety and effectiveness. Over several years, no serious issues have been reported. While all treatments carry some risks, MiSight 1 Day lenses have a strong safety record based on the available evidence.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
MiSight 1 Day contact lenses are unique because they are specifically designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness, also known as myopia, in children. Unlike standard corrective lenses that simply improve vision, MiSight lenses use a special optical design to alter how light enters the eye, potentially reducing the eye's elongation, which is a key factor in worsening myopia. Researchers are excited about these lenses because they offer a proactive approach, not just correcting vision but also addressing the underlying progression of the condition, which could lead to long-term benefits for eye health.
What evidence suggests that MiSight 1 Day contact lenses are effective for nearsightedness?
Research shows that MiSight 1 Day contact lenses, one of the treatments in this trial, can slow the worsening of nearsightedness in children. Studies have found that these lenses reduce the progression of nearsightedness by 59%, with 0.73 diopters less change in vision compared to regular lenses over three years. Additionally, MiSight lenses result in 52% less eye growth, which is crucial because more eye growth can worsen nearsightedness. Over six years, these lenses have cut eye growth by more than half compared to untreated eyes. This evidence supports using MiSight 1 Day lenses as a promising way to manage nearsightedness in children. Participants in this trial may receive MiSight 1 Day lenses or Proclear 1 Day lenses, which serve as an active comparator.24678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for children aged 8-12 with near-sightedness, having a specific range of vision error and good overall health. They must be willing to wear contact lenses daily for about 10 hours, follow the study's schedule for 4 years, and not have any eye diseases or conditions that could interfere with contact lens use.Inclusion Criteria
