MiSight® Spectacle Lenses

The importance of treating myopia not just correcting vision

Research shows that children are becoming nearsighted, or myopic, younger than ever before.1 Often nearsightedness is seen as ‘one of those things’ that happens as a child grows up.

 

But there are steps you can take now 

Suitable for children as young as 6 years old, MiSight® Spectacle Lenses with Diffusion Optics Technology™ are your first step in helping to slow down nearsightedness in your child.2*

 

Act early to help change their future vision

The younger a child becomes nearsighted, the stronger their glasses may need to be to see clearly as an adult.3,4

 

Act early to help reduce future eye health risks

Nearsighted children are also at a much higher risk later in life of serious myopia related eye problems such as retinal detachments and myopic macular degeneration, as well as the lifestyle impact of higher prescriptions.5-8

 

MiSight® Spectacle Lenses and your child

MiSight® Spectacle Lenses powered by Diffusion Optics TechnologyTM are clinically shown to slow myopia progression in children from as young as 6 years old.2†^

 

High-contrast light can interfere with the normal development of the eye by stimulating excessive eye growth.9 Over time, this excessive eye growth leads to worsening nearsightedness. So, the sooner nearsightedness is managed, the better the long-term eye health and vision outcomes are expected to be.10

 

Diffusion Optics TechnologyTM slightly reduces high contrast light on the retina, and reduces myopia progression over time while correcting vision.2,11-12*

 

Effectiveness of MiSight® Spectacle Lenses
59% reduction in myopia progression
on average, in children with full time wear over 2 years.2*

MiSight® Spectacle Lenses were particularly effective in the youngest patients, aged 6-7 years old, who have the fastest progression, where no other spectacles have been evaluated for effectiveness.2

>12 hours each day average wearing time for both MiSight® Spectacle Lenses and regular spectacles over 2 years2±

Over 3/4 children love their MiSight® Spectacle Lenses≠ and most think they make them look cool.1¥

 

Whether looking near or far, wear all day and be a star!

For maximum benefit2, wear MiSight® Spectacle Lenses all day, every day. 
This includes reading or when looking at other close-up objects.

MiSight® Spectacle Lenses Indications: 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. Please refer to Instructions for Use (IFU) for information on product description, materials, parameters, indications, contraindications, warnings, and potential complications.

*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)

†Subjects were 6 to 10 years old at screening. 

^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). †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.

±MiSight® Spectacle Lenses are indicated to be worn constantly for all activities except for those outlined in WARNINGS (a minimum of 10 hours per day)
