MiSight® Spectacle Lenses

MiSight® Spectacle Lenses are the only myopia management spectacle lens that has been shown to be effective in a clinical study on children as young as 6 years old.1

Let’s build a brighter future for your child.

 

The importance of treating myopia, not just correcting vision.

 

Myopia (nearsightedness) is more than just blurry vision. It’s a chronic, progressive disease, growing in both prevalence and severity.3  

It can stop children doing the things they love4-9 and limit future career options.10 Myopia can also progress rapidly, particularly in young children,11 and lead to more severe eye conditions in later life.12-15

Breakthrough research has shown that contrast signals in modern artificial environments may cause young eyes to grow longer and become more myopic.‡16

Over time, excessive eye growth leads to worsening myopia. So, the sooner myopia is managed, the better the long-term eye health and vision outcomes are expected to be.19

 

New MiSight® Spectacle Lenses. 

Powered by Diffusion Optics TechnologyTM .

 

Unlike traditional spectacles, MiSight® Spectacle Lenses’ unique Diffusion Optics TechnologyTM scatters light. This helps slow abnormal growth in young eyes which can slow the worsening of myopia.18

*Compared to control spectacle lenses. Analysis based on parent responses to in-office question, "Does your child remove their spectacles for any near vision activities?" (n=51 test, n=62 control). For the full study cohort, reduction in progression of spherical equivalent refraction baseline over 24 months was 47% on average.

†Reduction in progression of spherical equivalent refraction and axial length from baseline over 12 months was 74% and 50%, respectively (p<0.0001).

‡Definition of contrast signals in modern artificial environments - Modern urban lifestyle: high contrast over the entire viewing area. Children are exposed to artificial contrast in the modern visual environment contributing to myopia development.

§Versus 65% of control subjects, p=0.0032 (n=74 test, n=87 control).

¶Based on a North American patient population aged 6–10 years (least-squared means) and a Chinese patient population aged 6–13 years (unadjusted means). Significant progression defined as >0.25 D change from baseline.

†Reduction in progression of spherical equivalent refraction and axial length from baseline over 24 months was 47% and 24% on average, respectively (p<0.0041).

INDICATION: MiSight® Spectacle Lenses are indicated for the correction of refractive ametropia (myopia and/or astigmatism) and for the reduction in the rate of myopic progression in phakic children who are aged 6 to 13 years old with non-diseased eyes. MiSight® Spectacle Lenses should be worn constantly for all activities except for those outlined in WARNINGS, within the legal manufacturer’s Instructions for Use (a minimum of 10 hours per day).

Regulatory indications of and access to interventions for slowing myopia progression vary by country. CooperVision does not endorse off-label prescribing.
