Introduction – Myopia is a refractive error where parallel rays coming from infinity focus before the retinal plane. Globally the prevalence of myopia has increased, and its progression can be controlled by various methods, including peripheral defocusing lenses, such as the MiSight® 1-day contact lenses. Objectives – Evaluate the progression of myopia in children who wore MiSight® 1-day contact lenses. Methods – This was an observational, descriptive, retrospective, and case series study. Data was collected from clinical registries in an Optician’s office, where the contact lenses were fitted. Children with myopia who started treatment with MiSight® 1 day contact lenses to control myopia progression were included. Treatment efficacy was assessed by measuring refractive error (spherical equivalent) before, during, and after initiation of treatment. Results – Five children were included, two males and three females, aged between seven and fifteen years. The duration of treatment ranged from 19 to 61 months. Myopia progression during treatment ranged from 0.00 to -1.75 D. Discussion – All children in the study showed a decrease in myopia progression compared to myopia progression before treatment (0.00 and -2.25 D), as well as to what would be expected without treatment (-1.10 and -2.75 D). Conclusions – The use of MiSight® 1-day provided greater control over the progression of myopia when compared to the progression that would be expected without its use.
