Contact lenses that could slow nearsightedness in kids
NCT ID NCT05285553
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether MiSight 1 Day contact lenses can slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children aged 8 to 12. Participants wear either MiSight 1 Day or standard Proclear 1 day lenses for three years, then all switch to Proclear for one year to see if the effect lasts. The goal is to confirm the lenses work in real-world clinics and reduce the need for stronger prescriptions.
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
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that MiSight 1 Day lenses effectively slow myopia progression in children, offering a non-surgical way to manage nearsightedness.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-approval study, so the lens is already on the market. However, results may vary, and some children may still experience myopia progression. Visual symptoms or discomfort could occur.
