Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

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.

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.
