How to control myopia progression?

Myopia progression can be controlled, not only corrected

Standard single vision lenses help children see clearly, but they do not control myopia progression. MiYOSMART iQ is designed to correct vision and control the progression of myopia over time.

MiYOSMART iQ spectacle lenses are safe, effective, easy to wear and non-invasive myopia control solution from children from 4 years old.¹˒²

By protecting their eyesight now, you are helping them stay confident, and connected to the world around them.
