CooperVision Completes Enrollment for World’s Largest Pediatric Myopia Control Clinical Study 

Global Studies Across the US and China Will Generate Real-World Evidence to Advance, Expand, and Strengthen the Myopia Management Category

 CooperVision today announced the complete enrollment of its global MiSight® 1 day post-approval clinical studies (PAS) in the United States and China, a milestone in real-world evidence generation for pediatric myopia control. Together with the 7-year clinical trial of ActivControl® Technology, these studies represent the longest and most comprehensive clinical evidence program ever undertaken for contact lens-based myopia control intervention in children,* including both randomized controlled efficacy trials and large-scale safety registries.1

The combined PAS programs span more than 100 clinical sites and include over 3,000 children.1 Data will supplement already extensive MiSight® 1 day clinical studies, which have been widely published and cited in the ophthalmology and optometry communities.

The announcement coincides with 2026 Myopia Awareness Week (May 18 – 24), reinforcing the company’s ongoing commitment to advancing the science and understanding of pediatric myopia, a condition expected to affect nearly half of the global population by 2050.2

“Completing enrollment is a crucial step, allowing us to start analyzing data that will further illustrate how MiSight® 1 day performs in real-world settings over multiple years,” said Kathryn Richdale, OD, PhD, Director of Post-Market Clinical Affairs, CooperVision. “The findings will further strengthen the existing evidence supporting MiSight® 1 day, helping eye care professionals continue to make informed myopia management decisions and reinforcing long‑term confidence for families.”

Participants in the multi-year studies represent populations across the U.S. and China, providing insights applicable to children worldwide. Final data are expected on a rolling basis between 2027 and 2030.

Building on this latest milestone, CooperVision has also released Progress in Focus: The Global Impact of MiSight® 1 day. The report brings together the far-reaching body of evidence and highlight the evolution of the MiSight® family of products, with the upcoming addition of MyDay® MiSight® 1 day in Canada. The resource reflects CooperVision’s broader commitment to advancing myopia management through ongoing research and innovation, while supporting ECPs in their conversations with patients, parents, and colleagues.

Canadian Indications for Use: MiSight (omafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses for Myopia Control may reduce the rate of myopia progression in children (6-18) and correct ametropia. Reduction of myopia progression was observed in children with wearing time of 12 hours (8-16 hours) per day, 6.4 days (5-7) per week in a clinical study. Permanent myopia control after lens treatment is discontinued is not supported by clinical studies. MiSight (omafilcon A) Soft Contact Lenses for Myopia Control are indicated for single use daily disposable wear. When prescribed for daily disposable wear, the lens is to be discarded after each removal.

Footnotes:

* MyDay® MiSight® 1 day contact lenses use the same ActivControl® Technology as the original MiSight® 1 day.
