Which contact lens is better for your Child's nearsightedness?
NCT ID NCT06611410
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested two types of daily disposable contact lenses—Buttermere and MiSight 1 Day—in 10 children and teenagers with myopia (nearsightedness). Each participant wore one lens type for a week, then switched to the other for a week. Researchers measured how clearly they could see and how good their vision felt. The goal was to see if one lens performed better in everyday use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- stenfilcon A and omafilcon A contact lenses
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that one lens provides better vision or comfort for young people with myopia.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small, short-term study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It does not test long-term effects or myopia progression.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Are 8 to 18 years of age (inclusively) * Have read, signed and dated: * Age 18 - The Participant Informed Consent Form (participant only) * Age 12-17 - The Parental Permission Form (participant and parent) * Age 8-11 - The Parental Permission Form (parent) and Assent form (participant) * Are willing and able to follow instructions and maintain the appointment schedule. * Are habitual daily wearers of spherical single vision soft contact lenses to correct for distance vision in each eye, including myopia control soft contact lenses as below- * Currently wears spherical soft contact lenses or myopia control soft contact lenses. * Have a pair of wearable back-up spectacles. * Are willing and able to wear contact lenses for at least 10 hours a day, 6 days a week while in the study. * Are myopic with subjective refraction: -0.75D to -7.00D spherical, with an astigmatism ≤ -0.75D in each eye with maximum spherical equivalent anisometropia of 1.00D * Are correctable to a visual acuity of +0.10 logMAR or better (in each eye) with sphero-cylindrical subjective refraction. * Have clear corneas with no corneal scars or any active ocular disease. * Can be fit with the study contact lenses with a power between -0.75 and -7.00 DS; this translates to best corrected vision sphere refraction that vertexes to a CL power between -0.75 and -7.00 (inclusive) at screening visit. * Demonstrate an acceptable fit with the study contact lenses. * Demonstrate that they can safely and independently insert and remove contact lenses at the screening/fitting visit. Exclusion Criteria: * Have taken part in another clinical research study within the last 14 days. * Are currently habitual wearers of toric contact lenses. * Have worn any rigid contact lenses or ortho-keratology contact lenses in the past 30 days. * Are an extended contact lens wearer (i.e., sleeping with their contact lenses). * Are on ongoing atropine treatment for myopia control. * Have a difference of \> 1.0 D in best vision sphere subjective refraction between eyes. * Have amblyopia and/or strabismus/binocular vision problem. * Have any known active ocular disease, allergies and/or infection. * Have a systemic condition that in the opinion of the investigator may affect a study outcome variable. * Are using any systemic or topical medications that in the opinion of the investigator may affect a study outcome variable. * Have a known sensitivity to the diagnostic pharmaceuticals to be used in the study. * Have undergone refractive error surgery or intraocular surgery. * Are a member of CORL directly involved in the study.
