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

Fareham, May 18, 2026 CooperVision today announced the complete enrolment 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, which represent the longest running soft contact lens study amongst children,* including both randomised 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 enrolment is a crucial step, allowing us to start analysing 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 US and China, providing insights applicable to children worldwide. Final data are expected on a rolling basis between 2027 and 2030.
