Can One-Sided nearsightedness predict the other Eye's fate?
NCT ID NCT07778264
First seen Aug 21, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026
Summary
This study follows children aged 7-18 who have nearsightedness (myopia) in only one eye and are being treated with MiSight 1 Day contact lenses in that eye. The other, non-myopic eye is simply observed to see if and when it becomes nearsighted. If it does, standard myopia control treatments like MiSight or atropine drops are started. The goal is to learn more about how the untreated eye changes and to find clues that might help doctors decide when to start treatment in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MiSight 1 Day contact lens (and possibly 0.05% atropine eye drops if the fellow eye becomes myopic)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict which children with unilateral myopia will develop myopia in the other eye, allowing earlier and more personalized treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all children, and the follow-up is only 12 months, which may be too short to capture long-term outcomes.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
children aged 7-18 years with unilateral myopia who meet all eligibility criteria and whose parents/legal guardians provide written informed consent. The myopic eye must have a cycloplegic SER of ≤ -0.75 D, while the fellow eye must have a cycloplegic SER of \> -0.50 D. The myopic eye must have cylinder ≤1.00 D and BCVA of 20/25 or better. Participants must be willing to wear MiSight® 1 Day for at least 10 hours per day and 6 days per week and complete 12 months of follow-up.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 7-18 years. 2. Cycloplegic SER ≤ -0.75 D in one eye and \> -0.50 D in the fellow eye. 3. Cylinder ≤1.00 D in the myopic eye. 4. BCVA ≥20/25 (0.1 logMAR). 5. Willingness to wear MiSight® 1 Day for ≥10 hours/day and ≥6 days/week. 6. Willingness of the participant and parents to comply with the study procedures and complete 12 months of follow-up. 7. Written informed consent provided by the legal guardian. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous orthokeratology treatment. * Previous atropine treatment exceeding one month. * Previous use of other myopia-control soft contact lenses. * Keratoconus, corneal degeneration, or other corneal disease. * Amblyopia, strabismus, or other significant binocular visual dysfunction. * Cataract, glaucoma, uveitis, retinal disease, or other significant ocular disease. * Systemic connective-tissue or neurological disease affecting vision. * Known allergy to atropine or contact lens materials. * Inability to comply with scheduled visits or anticipated relocation during the study period.
