MiSight® 1 day is a soft and simple-to-wear 1 day disposable contact lens, whereby your child disposes the contact lens at the end of the day. As such, the risk of infection associated with contact lenses is lowered compared to other lens types. No cleaning or disinfection of product is required. MiSight® 1 day achieve clear vision, right from the first day, upon the first insertion. It can also be an option for a low level of Myopia (-1.00 or less).

Children as young as 8-year-old was fitted with MiSight® during our 3 years studies1, as such, children can also be a suitable candidate with some help from parents. According to our parent feedback study, parents would usually wonder if contact lenses are suitable for their child. The result of the same study showed that after 1 month of usage, over 80% of the parents are comfortable with their child wearing contact lenses.

Ideally, your child should be on the MiSight® journey for minimally 12 months. On average, eye growth slows down at the age of 18. However, everyone is different. Once diagnosed, your child’s myopia should be monitored by an optometrist to ensure that it does not progress before concluding the journey of myopia management.

Every child’s eye is different and they should go through a consultation and assessment before getting fitted with MiSight® 1 day. It is recommended to book a consultation with our team of optometrists to find out if your child is a suitable candidate for this treatment. The assessment will take approximately 30mins and varies to individual.
