If you wear Menicon's Miru lenses — or your optometrist has recommended them — you may have noticed they're not the easiest lenses to find in Australia. The big retailers tend to stock the same handful of mainstream brands, and Menicon's Miru range often isn't among them.
This guide covers what the Miru range includes, why people choose it, and how to order it in Australia with your prescription.
What is Menicon Miru?
Menicon is a Japanese contact lens manufacturer with a long history in lens innovation. Its Miru Flat Pack daily disposables are best known for one distinctive feature: the packaging. Each lens sits in an ultra-thin "flat pack" that holds the lens surface-up, so you touch only the edge when you take it out. It's a small design detail that makes daily handling cleaner and more hygienic — particularly helpful if you've ever struggled to get a lens out of a traditional blister pack.
Beyond the packaging, Miru lenses are designed for comfortable all-day wear with good moisture retention, which is why optometrists often recommend them for people who find other dailies drying.
The Miru range available in Australia
At Contact Lens Depot, we stock the full Miru Flat Pack daily disposable range:
- Miru Flat Pack 1 Day — for standard short- and long-sightedness (spherical prescriptions). Available in 30 and 90 packs.
- Miru Flat Pack Astigmatism 1 Day — toric lenses for people with astigmatism. Available in 30 and 90 packs.
- Miru Flat Pack Multifocal 1 Day — for presbyopia, correcting near and distance vision in one lens. Available in 30 and 90 packs.
The 90 packs work out better value per lens and mean fewer reorders through the year, which is why most regular wearers choose them.
Why Miru can be hard to find in Australia
Menicon is a specialist brand rather than a mass-market one, so many Australian retailers simply don't carry it. If your optometrist has fitted you with Miru lenses, you've probably found that switching to a different brand isn't always straightforward — lens fit, material, and comfort vary between brands, and the lens your optometrist chose was chosen for a reason.
That's why it's worth buying the exact lenses you were prescribed rather than substituting a more common brand.
How to order Miru lenses online
Ordering is straightforward:
- Choose your Miru lens type (1 Day, Astigmatism, or Multifocal) and pack size.
- Enter your prescription details for each eye.
- Check out — and if you don't have your prescription handy, you can submit it after ordering.
As an optometrist-owned and operated business, we make sure you're getting genuine Menicon lenses, and every order is health fund claimable with eligible extras cover. We provide a receipt for your claim.

A note on staying stocked
Because Miru is a specialty lens, it's worth making sure you don't run out — substituting another brand in a pinch isn't ideal when your optometrist has fitted you specifically. Setting up an easy reorder, or joining The Replenish Plan so your lenses arrive automatically, takes the guesswork out of it.

Yes. The Miru Flat Pack daily range — including standard, astigmatism, and multifocal options — is available to order online in Australia, though not every retailer stocks the full range.
Do I need a prescription to buy Miru lenses?
Yes. Contact lenses require a valid prescription in Australia. You can enter your details at checkout or submit your prescription afterwards.
