Miru contact lenses are Menicon’s daily and monthly range, built around one uncommon idea: fix the packaging, not just the lens. Most people who give up on contacts don’t quit over comfort or vision. They quit over finding the lens. Checking it’s not inside out. Hoping that was the clean finger. Miru solves that before you even touch the lens, across three ranges: the ultra-slim Miru 1day Flat Pack, the premium Miru 1day UpSide, and the long-wearing Miru 1month. All these lenses are available in toric (astigmatism) and multifocal (presbyopia) options.

Miru contact lenses: why the pack matters as much as the lens
The Flat Pack: slim enough for your pocket
The Miru 1day Flat Pack ditches the bowl entirely: no saline well, no bulk. Just a flat foil pack that’s thin enough to disappear into a wallet, a coat pocket, or the bottom of a bag.
- Take it anywhere. No case, no carry-on planning. Spare lenses that actually fit in your pocket.
- Built for travel and gym bags. Forgot your lens case? It doesn’t matter: the Flat Pack never needed one.
- Genuinely sustainable. Less bowl means less plastic: 80% less plastic than a conventional 1-day blister, made from 100% recycled plastic.
Note: these Flat Pack benefits (the ultra-thin format, the plastic reduction, the no-reuse design) apply specifically to the Miru 1day Flat Pack.
What makes Miru different
Most daily lenses ship in a classic blister pack: a small bowl of saline under a foil seal. It works, but it has two quirks:
- The lens sits the wrong way up. In a standard blister, the inner surface (the side that touches your eye) can sometimes face up. To lift it out, you touch the one surface you shouldn’t.
- The pack is bulkier than it needs to be. More plastic and more to carry.
Miru 1day UpSide: the premium daily
The Miru 1day UpSide is Menicon’s flagship: the world’s only 1-day silicone hydrogel lens with Smart Touch technology. These lenses are soft, breathable, and comfortable enough to forget you’re wearing them. In a Menicon survey of 642 wearers, 85% rated comfort “excellent” or “good.” UV filter is included, and they’re also available in toric and multifocal variants.
Miru 1month: built for endurance
The Miru 1month pairs Menicon’s MeniSilk material with a NanoGloss Elevate surface for one of the highest oxygen-permeability figures on the market, plus low bacterial build-up over the month. In a Menicon study, 94.7% rated it comfortable, very comfortable, or excellent. People with presbyopia get a Dual Balanced Design, with variants for lower and higher near-vision needs.
In short: choose the Flat Pack for portability and sustainability, UpSide for premium comfort, and 1month for going the distance.
How to use the Miru 1day Flat Pack
Switching from a blister means unlearning one habit: the scoop. This technique is specific to the Flat Pack and UpSide format.
- Peel. Pull back the foil at the tab. The outer surface faces up automatically.
- Pick up. Lift the lens from above with your fingertip. Don’t scoop from underneath.
- Position. Place it on your fingertip. It’s already the right way round.
- Apply. Insert as usual, and you’re done.
The switch in four words: you scooped; now you pick.

Miru 1day lenses (UpSide and Flat Pack) are designed for single use. You wear them once, then throw them away. Never sleep in them or reuse them the next day.
Miru’s materials are built for high breathability and comfort, but the best way to know if they suit sensitive or dry eyes is a fitting with your optician, who can match the lens to your prescription and eye profile.
“Miru” (見る) is Japanese for “to see.” Menicon is a Japanese contact lens manufacturer.
Smart Touch is the technology that keeps the lens right-side-up. Flat Pack is the specific ultra-thin packaging that uses it: Smart Touch is the principle, and Flat Pack is one implementation of it.
No, it’s single-use with no bowl for storage. Daily lenses are discarded after wear, not reused.
Yes. All three ranges come in toric (astigmatism) and multifocal (presbyopia) versions. A fitting will confirm which variant suits you.
The Flat Pack uses around 80% less plastic than a standard 1-day blister and is made from 100% recycled plastic. These figures are Menicon’s own.
