Slow down myopia progression, so that they can go full steam ahead.

What is myopia?

Myopia, also called near-sightedness, is a common eye disease, whereby objects far away appear blurry and out of focus.1 This can make it harder for your child to concentrate at school and to have a carefree experience when playing. If left untreated in children, myopia can lead to significant and lasting vision problems in the future.2

Did you know myopia can be slowed down, not only corrected?

Today, in most cases, myopia is corrected with single vision spectacle lenses, which only provide clear and sharp vision. However, they do not help to slow down myopia progression.

 

That’s why we created the MiYOSMART spectacle lenses, an innovative treatment solution that provides clear vision, while simultaneously slowing down myopia progression in an easy, safe, effective and non-invasive way.3-6

D.I.M.S. Technology used in MiYOSMART spectacle lenses has been proven to slow down myopia progression in children³

How do MiYOSMART spectacle lenses work?

MiYOSMART spectacle lenses use the revolutionary D.I.M.S. Technology to correct the myopic refractive error and provide clear vision.

D.I.M.S. Technology uses a honeycomb-shaped segment treatment area (‘defocus zone’) to slow down myopia progression, and a clear zone (‘focus zone’) with your child’s prescription. The focus zone provides clear vision and the defocus zone manages myopia at the same time.

 

Evidence you can trust. That's MiYOSMART.

We carried out multiple clinical studies that provide high-quality evidence, to give you the confidence when considering MiYOSMART spectacle lenses as a treatment solution for your child.

The main findings were:

  • MiYOSMART spectacle lenses slowed down myopia progression on average by 60% on average, compared to wearing standard single vision spectacle lenses.3
  • The myopia management effect was sustained over 6 years, demonstrating that there is benefit in wearing the spectacle lenses long term.4

Care goes beyond the lens

Spend more time outdoors

Most Eye Care Professionals recommend spending at least 2 hours a day outdoors, to reduce the risk of myopia progression.11

Seek regular eye care

Get your child’s eyes checked regularly to ensure myopia or other vision problems are detected and treated early. Be conscious of your child’s tendency to hide or downplay their vision problems.

Give eyes a break

Reduce your child’s eye strain by reminding them to take regular breaks from screen time and short-sighted activities. Encourage the 20-20-20 rule – every 20 minutes look at an object at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.12
