MiSight 1 Day Safety Post-Approval Study
This study is looking into the safety of a specific type of daily disposable contact lens called MiSight 1 Day. These lenses are designed for children aged 8 to 12 years old who are short-sighted (have myopia). Doctors in the US have approved these lenses, and this study aims to collect more information to confirm they are safe for children to wear in real-world situations. Researchers will ask children who are already getting these lenses if they'd like to take part. The study will confirm that wearing these lenses daily doesn't cause any unexpected problems for children who meet certain health requirements. It’s important because ensuring safety is a continuous process for new medical products.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This study is a safety check on a special contact lens called MiSight 1 Day. This lens is designed for children aged 8 to 12 years old who are short-sighted. Short-sightedness means things far away look blurry. These contact lenses are daily disposable, meaning you throw them away at the end of each day and use a fresh pair the next.
Even though these lenses are already approved for use, this study wants to make absolutely sure they are safe when used by many children in everyday life. Think of it as an extra reassurance. Researchers will ask children who fit certain health criteria and are already being fitted with these lenses if they want to participate. They will then keep an eye on these children to make sure the lenses continue to be safe.
The main goal is to gather more information about safety. This helps make sure that the lenses are not only good for improving vision but also completely safe for children to wear over time. It helps doctors and parents feel confident about using this treatment for short-sightedness.
Key takeaways
- This study is confirming the safety of daily contact lenses (MiSight 1 Day) for children.
- It's for children aged 8-12 who are short-sighted and already use these lenses.
- Participation means sharing health data from your child's regular eye check-ups.
- The goal is to ensure the lenses are safe for long-term use in everyday situations.
- You can withdraw your child from the study at any time without affecting their care.
Who may be eligible?
This study is for children aged between 8 and 12 years old. To join, a child needs to be short-sighted, with a prescription for glasses or contacts between -0.50 and -7.00. They also need to have good vision, meaning they can see at least 20/25 with their best correction, and have healthy eyes without any scratches, infections, or other issues.
There are also some important points for the parents or guardians. You must understand what the study involves and agree to your child's health information being used for the study, while keeping their identity private. Your child also needs to be interested in wearing contact lenses for about 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, and they must have a pair of glasses that they can use and see well with.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Is your child aged 8-12 years old?
- Does your child have short-sightedness between -0.50 and -7.00?
- Does your child have generally healthy eyes without serious conditions?
- Is your child interested in wearing contact lenses for most of the day, 6 days a week?
- Do you, as their parent/guardian, understand and agree to share their health data (anonymously) for the study?
What does participation involve?
If your child chooses to take part, they will already be receiving MiSight 1 Day contact lenses as part of their regular eye care. The study will involve collecting information about your child's eye health while they are wearing these lenses. This includes checking for any problems or discomfort. The research team will also use existing safety information from another study involving these lenses to help understand the overall safety picture. You and your child will be asked to follow the instructions for wearing and looking after the lenses, and the total duration isn't specified but will likely involve regular check-ups as part of their normal contact lens care.
