Myopia management study data

Coopervision has released data from a five-year, two-part study into the effects of its Misight 1 day contact lenses on children with myopia.

Part one quantified three-year effectiveness of the Misight 1 day lens against a control group. After 36 months, part two saw the control group refitted with Coopervision’s lens.

Progression rates among the refitted control group matched the original Misight wearing group for the duration of the study, suggesting that ‘myopia progression with Misight 1 day lenses is more dependent on age of the patient than their baseline myopia or length of time under treatment,’ said Paul Chamberlain, director of research programs for Coopervision.
