Miru Contact Lenses

What are Miru contact lenses?

Miru is the soft contact lens range from Menicon, Japan’s first and largest contact lens manufacturer, founded in 1951. The Miru range at Lenstore includes daily disposable lenses in Menicon’s ultra-slim Flat Pack, plus silicone hydrogel monthly lenses for standard prescriptions, astigmatism and presbyopia.

Miru contact lenses combine Japanese precision engineering with some of the most distinctive innovations in the contact lens market, from the world’s slimmest lens packaging to silicone hydrogel materials offering among the highest oxygen transmissibility of any disposable lens. Whether you wear daily disposables or monthly lenses, and whether your prescription is standard, toric for astigmatism or multifocal, there’s a Miru lens designed for you. Every Miru order at Lenstore comes with fast delivery, and you can book a free eye test and contact lens check worth up to £60.

Why choose Miru contact lenses?

1. Smart Touch™ — the lens is always the right way up

The Miru 1day Flat Pack uses Menicon’s unique Smart Touch™ technology: when you peel back the foil, the lens is presented the correct way up, ready to place straight on your eye. You only ever touch the outer surface of the lens, so the inner surface, the side that sits against your eye, stays untouched until insertion. No more inside-out checks, and more hygienic handling has been demonstrated in clinical research. It’s a genuine game-changer for new wearers, occasional wearers, and anyone who’s ever fumbled a lens at 6am.

2. The world’s slimmest contact lens packaging

At roughly 1mm thin, the Miru Flat Pack is the slimmest contact lens packaging in the world about the size of a coin envelope. A day’s pair slips into a wallet, pocket or gym bag with ease, making Miru 1day ideal for travel, sport and life on the move. The design uses significantly less plastic than a conventional blister, the packaging is made from recycled plastic, and around 75% less saline is used per lens a smaller footprint without compromising on quality.

3. Exceptional breathability from silicone hydrogel

The Miru 1month family is made from asmofilcon A, a silicone hydrogel developed with Menicon’s MeniSilk™ technology, delivering one of the highest levels of oxygen transmissibility (Dk/t 161) of any commercially available disposable lens. Eyes that can breathe stay whiter, healthier and more comfortable from morning to night particularly important if you wear your lenses for long days at a screen.

4. Cleaner lenses, all-day comfort

Miru 1month lenses also feature NanoGloss™, a nanometre-precision surface treatment that creates an ultra-smooth lens surface. This resists lipid deposits and bacterial adhesion in published comparisons, Miru 1month showed the lowest level of bacterial adhesion on worn lenses among leading silicone hydrogel lenses. A unique uniform edge profile across the entire power range means your eyelids glide smoothly over the lens with every blink, whatever your prescription.

5. A lens for every prescription

Alongside standard spherical lenses, the range includes Miru 1month for Astigmatism, whose stabilisation design follows the natural contours of your eyelids so the lens orientates itself correctly however it’s applied, and Miru 1month Multifocal, whose Dual Balanced Design™ supports clear vision near and far whether you’re early in presbyopia or need a higher near addition.
