A soft daily contact that corrects today — and slows myopia for the years ahead.

MiSight looks and feels like an ordinary daily contact lens. The difference is invisible rings that quietly send the eye a “slow down” signal all day long. Press play to see how it works, what the research found, and whether it fits your child.

As the eye grows too long, focus falls in front of the retina and vision blurs. A standard lens sharpens central vision but focuses peripheral light behind the retina, a signal linked to continued eye growth. MiSight's concentric treatment zones bring peripheral light to focus in front of the retina instead, which is associated with slower eye growth, while correction zones keep vision sharp.

Could MiSight be right for your child?

A myopia consultation at COVE measures how your child’s eyes are changing and compares every control option — MiSight, ortho-k, and myopia-control glasses — so you can pick with real numbers in hand.

*In a 3-year randomized clinical trial, children wearing MiSight 1 day lenses showed on average 59% less myopia progression and 52% less axial (eye-length) growth than children in standard daily lenses (Chamberlain P, et al. Optometry and Vision Science, 2019). MiSight (CooperVision) was FDA-approved in 2019 to slow myopia progression in children who begin wear between ages 8 and 12. Individual results vary — myopia control slows progression; it does not stop or reverse it. MiSight is fitted at COVE by Drs. Karres, Keller, and Dennis.
