What Is MiSight 1 Day?

The Evidence Leader In Contact Lens Myopia Control

MiSight 1 day was designed from the ground up for myopia control, not adapted from a standard vision-correction lens. Its dual-focus, concentric ring optics create a central zone of clear distance correction surrounded by rings that generate a deliberate out-of-focus signal, addressing the underlying elongation of the eye rather than only the blur it causes.

What sets MiSight apart is the depth of its evidence base: its pivotal trial followed children for seven years, one of the longest continuous myopia control datasets in existence, with benefits sustained the entire time.

How The Dual-Focus Design Works

Three optical zones work together every time your child blinks, keeping the myopia control signal continuous throughout the day.

Clear Central Zone

Corrects distance vision exactly like a standard lens, so schoolwork, sport and screens all stay sharp.

Concentric Treatment Rings

Alternating rings surrounding the centre create a deliberate out-of-focus signal in front of the retina, all day, every day of wear.

Consistent, Predictable Optics

The same proven design is manufactured fresh into every single lens, so the treatment effect doesn't vary lens to lens.

Zero Lens Care Routine

No cleaning solution, no lens case, no overnight soak. A fresh sterile lens each morning removes an entire category of hygiene risk.

Seven Years Of Follow-Up

Long-running trial data means we can talk to families with real confidence about what to expect years down the track, not just in year one.

How It Works

Slowing Eye Growth, Not Just Blurring Vision

MiSight doesn't just correct your child's short-sightedness, it's designed to influence the trajectory of their eye growth. Here's the science, explained simply.

Dual-Focus Lens Diagram — Clear Zone & Concentric Rings
1

A clear central zone corrects everyday vision

The middle of the lens works just like a standard lens, giving your child sharp, clear eyesight for reading, the whiteboard and everyday life.

2

Concentric rings surround it

Alternating treatment rings ring the clear zone, each gently focusing light just in front of the retina rather than on it, creating myopic defocus.

3

The signal continuously reaches the retina

Because it's a contact lens, that signal moves with the eye in every direction of gaze, not just straight ahead, helping to reduce the axial elongation that drives myopia progression.

In plain terms: a normal lens only helps your child see clearly today. MiSight aims to also change the trajectory of their eyesight over time, by telling their eye to stop growing too fast.
Benefits

Why Families Choose MiSight 1 Day

Seven-year evidence base

The longest continuous published trial history of any myopia control contact lens, with the effect sustained the whole time.

Suitable from age 8

Studied specifically in children starting wear between 8 and 12, a critical early window for myopia control.

No lens care routine

A fresh, sterile lens every morning, thrown away that night, no solutions or lens case.

Great for sport

No fogging, slipping or breakage risk, ideal for active kids and weekend sport.

Moves naturally with the eye

Treatment optics travel with gaze direction, not fixed to a frame position like glasses.

Backed by CooperVision

Manufactured at global scale by one of the world's leading contact lens companies.

Our Clinic

How Eyecare Concepts Fits MiSight 1 Day

We've built MiSight into our myopia control program as a first-line contact lens option for children who want clear daytime vision without glasses and are ready to learn safe lens handling.

Step 1

Comprehensive assessment

We assess prescription, ocular health and readiness for contact lens wear, and take a baseline axial length measurement.

Step 2

Fitting & training

We fit the lens for comfort and coverage, then spend real time teaching safe insertion, removal and hygiene before your child wears lenses unsupervised.

Step 3

Ongoing monitoring

We review at regular intervals, tracking axial length and prescription so you can see exactly how treatment is working.

MiSight 1 day may be a great fit if your child:

  • Is around 8 years or older
  • Wants clear vision without glasses
  • Is ready to learn safe lens handling
  • Plays sport or is very active

Common Questions

MiSight 1 Day: FAQs

What is MiSight 1 day?
MiSight 1 day is a daily disposable soft contact lens made by CooperVision, purpose-built for myopia control rather than adapted from a standard vision-correction lens. It's the most extensively studied myopia control contact lens available, with published clinical data extending out to six years of continuous wear.
How does MiSight slow myopia progression?
The lens uses a dual-focus, concentric ring design called ActivControl technology. A central optical zone corrects distance vision clearly, while alternating rings around it create a second, out-of-focus image just in front of the retina, a signal that appears to slow the eye's tendency to keep elongating.
How much does MiSight reduce myopia progression by?
MiSight's pivotal seven-year clinical trial found a meaningful reduction in both myopia progression and axial elongation compared with a standard single-vision contact lens, with the treatment benefit sustained across the full study period, one of the longest continuous datasets of any myopia control option.
What age is MiSight approved for?
MiSight is TGA-registered and clinically studied for children starting wear between ages 8 and 12, reflecting the age range enrolled in its major trials. We assess individual readiness at consultation, since maturity varies more than age alone.
Is MiSight comfortable for children to wear all day?
Yes. It's built on a proven daily disposable lens material with good oxygen permeability and wetting comfort, and most children adapt within the first few days, similar to any first-time soft lens wearer.
Do I need to clean or store MiSight lenses?
No. Being a daily disposable, a fresh, sterile lens is opened each morning and thrown away that night, so there's no cleaning solution, lens case or overnight soak involved.
How does MiSight compare with MyDay MiSight 1 day?
Both use the same ActivControl dual-focus optics and are made by CooperVision. MyDay MiSight 1 day is built on CooperVision's newer MyDay lens platform, offering an even higher level of oxygen transmission and modern wetting technology, while MiSight 1 day remains the original, most extensively published version. We discuss which suits your child at consultation.
Can MiSight be worn for sport?
Yes, it suits sport well, with no risk of fogging, slipping or breakage the way glasses can present. We recommend removing lenses before swimming, consistent with general contact lens hygiene guidance.
What happens if a lens is lost or damaged during the day?
Since MiSight is a daily disposable, simply insert a fresh lens, we recommend families keep a small spare supply on hand for exactly this situation.
How does MiSight compare with OrthoK or myopia control glasses?
MiSight sits in the same top evidence tier as OrthoK and myopia control glasses, with broadly comparable effectiveness. It suits children who want clear daytime vision without glasses and are ready to manage daily lens insertion and removal. Our Myopia Control Treatments page compares all five of our treatment options in detail.
