Five things we know about MiSight 1 day

The MiSight 1 day clinical trial is the longest-running soft contact lens study among children, and is now reporting seven-year data. With questions explored including efficacy, cross over from control group to treatment and discontinuation, here’s some of what we’ve learnt along the way.

Driving change in myopia management – Q&A with Elizabeth Lumb

In this Q&A Interview, Optometrist Elizabeth Lumb reflects on the evolution of myopia management in the past five years through two ‘lenses’: as CooperVision’s Director of Global Professional Affairs, Myopia Management, and through the very personal experience of her now 12-year-old niece, Maddy.

Is there a dose response in myopia control?

A dose-response is where an increasing amount of a medication or intervention is correlated with a better clinical outcome. When it comes to myopia control, we investigate the evidence for a dose-response with spectacle, contact lens, atropine and outdoor time interventions.

What does extended depth of focus mean in contact lens designs?

Extended depth of focus (EDOF) designs in soft contact lenses are employed for presbyopia correction as well as myopia control. This article explores differences between contact lens designs which could be termed ‘multifocal’, and how this could factor into clinical outcomes.

Mastering MiSight 1 day

What can you expert in short-term fitting, vision, handling and comfort outcomes in children through to long term outcomes in myopia control, vision and ocular health? This article provides the scientific and clinical basis to get started and continue successfully fitting MiSight 1 day for myopic children.

Understanding the NaturalVue multifocal contact lens

The NaturalVue Multifocal contact lens by Visioneering Technologies, Inc, is a daily disposable contact lens for myopia control. This blog explores the optical profile, proposed mechanism and research evidence for the NaturalVue, along with its application in practice.

Kids and contact lenses – benefits, safety and getting to ‘yes’

There are numerous reasons why contact lenses are beneficial for children, and the safety profile is high. Yet there are still barriers in the mind of the practitioner, parent and young patient to childhood CL wear. Here we address these often cited barriers, with the goal to support your clinical communication on the benefits and safety of contact lenses for kids, to move towards achieving a ‘yes’ from the parent and patient.

Which multifocal soft lens? Efficacy and visual function

Here we focus on clinical advice comparing efficacy between available options which have been researched for myopia control. We also discuss best corrected acuity outcomes, and how MFCLs may influence accommodation, with this potentially linking to myopia control efficacy.
