3 Myopia: A global epidemic

4 UK: Over the last 50 years, myopia has more than doubled 1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Six Year Refractive Change among White Children and Young Adults: Evidence for significant increase in myopia among white UK children Conclusion: The proportion of myopes in the UK has more than doubled over the last 50 years in children aged between years and children are becoming myopic at a younger age. 1. McCullough SJ, O Donoghue L, Saunders KJ (2016) Six Year Refractive Change among White Children and Young Adults: Evidence for Significant Increase in Myopia among White UK Children. PLoS ONE 11(1)

5 In 2010, 28% of the global population was myopic 1 1. Holden BA, Fricke TR, Wilson DA, Jong M, Naidoo KS, Sankaridurg P, Wong TY, Naduvilath TJ, Resnikoff S, Global Prevalence of Myopia and High Myopia and Temporal Trends from 2000 through 2050, Ophthalmology, May 2016 Volume 123, Issue 5, Pages

6 By 2050, 50% of the global population is predicted to be myopic 1 1.

9 Introducing MiSight 1 day

10 Development of MiSight 1 day Transferred to Proclear 1 Day material back in 2009 Design was evolved to suit the Proclear material and optimised profile across the power range CE approved

11 Overview of MiSight 1 day with ActivControl technology Soft 1-day lens Optical zone with ActivControl technology Four optical zones - Two correction zones (refractive correction) - Two treatment zones (+2.00D: myopic defocus) Myopic defocus controls axial elongation (and therefore refractive error) as the treatment zone image focus is in front of the retina, not behind treatment zones creating myopic defocus correction zones

12 How ActivControl technology works? Correction zones ensure myopia is fully corrected in all gaze positions and consistently across the power range Treatment zones ensure consistent myopic defocus in all gaze positions Light Focal point treatment zones creating myopic defocus correction zones Artist s impression

13 Long term clinical study 3 year parallel-group, randomised, double-masked, multi-centre study extended to five years Subjects split into two groups: Control group Proclear 1 day Test group MiSight 1 day Four sites around the world Canada, UK, Portugal, Singapore Two year data completed in mid 2016 and presented at AAO with decision made to commercialise the product Three year data presented BCLA conference, June 2017

14 MiSight 1 day: the three year results

15 Refractive error change: MiSight 1 day reduces the rate of myopia progression by 59% over a three-year period 1 1. Chamberlain, P et al. CLINICAL EVALUATION OF A DUALFOCUS MYOPIA CONTROL 1 DAY SOFT CONTACT LENS - 3-YEAR RESULTS, BCLA meeting June 2017

16 Axial length change: MiSight 1 day wearers had 52% less growth over a three-year period 1 Changes in refractive error are highly correlated with changes in eyes' axial lengths 1. Chamberlain, P et al. CLINICAL EVALUATION OF A DUALFOCUS MYOPIA CONTROL 1 DAY SOFT CONTACT LENS - 3-YEAR RESULTS, BCLA meeting June 2017

22 MiSight 1 day fitting guide STEP 1 Optimise the spectacle prescription With the most up-to-date refraction* in the trial frame, confirm optimal prescription using the binocular balancing technique STEP 2 Select and evaluate MiSight 1 day Select initial MiSight 1 day lens from best vision sphere**. Adjust for vertex distance. Record vision Assess fit Increase minus in 0.25D steps only if it significantly improves distance vision Reduce minus on 0.25D steps, provided there is no decrease in visual acuity and no subjective visual impact STEP 3 Recommendations and follow-up Recommended minimum wearing time 6+ days per week, 10+ hours per day Schedule a follow-up visit for one week Assess handling technique Confirm adaptation to vision Top tip: Ghosting and haloes are normal at first and demonstrate a normal visual sensation of this therapy *A cycloplegic refraction can be a helpful baseline reference before an initial fitting of MiSight 1 day **For optimum results, ensure that the vertex-corrected cylinder is 0.75D

24 Summary Myopia is reaching epidemic proportions, with 50% of the global population set to become myopic by 2050 Current myopia management options have limitations. We need an effective, easy-to-fit product, available to all eye care professionals that is easy to wear for children MiSight 1 day is the first daily disposable soft contact lens specifically designed to address these needs ActivControl technology High efficacy over three years Easy to wear
