Misight Contact Lenses

FDA approves first contacts to slow myopia

November 2019 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first contact lens to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) as an initial treatment for children ages 8-12.

CooperVision's MiSight contact lens is a single-use, disposable, soft contact lens not intended to be worn overnight.

Until now, traditional eyeglasses and contact lenses available in the U.S. have only been developed to correct blurred vision, a symptom of myopia, and not approved to slow its progression.
