This information can help you assess if a treatment is the right solution for your child with an Eye Care Professional.
We’ve conducted multiple clinical studies in different age groups and parts of the world,2-4 so we are confident that MiYOSMART lenses are suitable for most nearsighted children of different ages and backgrounds.
The DIMS Technology used in MiYOSMART lenses is based on a well-established and widely accepted scientific theory.5,6
• MiYOSMART lenses are generally well tolerated among children3, 9
• They are a non-invasive solution, unlike other treatments out there (like atropine or Ortho-K), and it usually only takes children a few days to adapt to their new MiYOSMART lenses
• A 6-year clinical study in Hong Kong showed no long-term side effects from wearing MiYOSMART lenses7
MiYOSMART lenses don’t cause glare sensitivity or worsen contrast vision so they don’t impair vision in traffic, neither alone nor with low-dose atropine eye drops.10 This means that after a 2-week adaptation period, your child can navigate traffic without distracting glare from traffic lights or other vision disturbances.
MiYOSMART lenses work in synergy with low-dose atropine eye drops. In fact, recent clinical studies from Europe4 and China11 found that the combination treatment of MiYOSMART lenses and low-dose atropine eye drops was more effective, than MiYOSMART or atropine alone. However, this is a treatment decision that should be made under the supervision of an Eye Care Professional.
If your child stops their treatment with MiYOSMART lenses, myopia will not ‘bounce back’ to what it was before treatment.7 This is unlike other popular treatment methods, like high-dose atropine eye drops or orthokeratology.12, 13
MiYOSMART has not been approved for myopia management in all countries, including the U.S., and is not currently available for sale in all countries, including the U.S.
