Could special contact lenses slow worsening eyesight in young adults?

NCT ID NCT05955638

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether dual focus contact lenses (MiSight) can slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in university students aged 18 to 21. Participants wear either the test lenses or standard single vision lenses for at least 10 hours a day. Researchers measure changes in eye length and prescription over time to see if the lenses reduce worsening eyesight.

Active substance

MiSight dual focus soft contact lenses

What this could lead to

If effective, these lenses could offer a way to slow worsening nearsightedness in young adults, reducing the need for stronger prescriptions.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study in a specific age group. Results may not apply to all myopes, and the lenses may not slow progression for everyone.
