MiYOSMART
After years of research and clinical trials, we can now offer you a truly revolutionary non-invasive lens design which has been shown to reduce the rate of progression in myopic children and teenagers by an average of about 60%! MiYOSMART lenses incorporate unique patented technology that reduces the stimulus to excessive growth of the eye wall, which is the cause of rapidly increasing myopia.
- MiYOSMART is a new non-invasive myopia management solution. It is safe and convenient, just like wearing ordinary spectacle lenses. The lenses provide the vision correction so your child will experience comfortable vision for both near and distance vision. All this whilst also working to reduce the progression of their shortsightedness. They are easy to adapt to and are suitable for full time daily wear for a wide range of activities.
- A higher degree of myopia isn’t just inconvenient in terms of having to wear stronger glasses, it is proven to carry higher risks of more serious eye problems such as retinal detachment and maculopathy in later life.
- Being able to have your child’s myopia diagnosed early not only corrects their vision now, but can help slow the progression of myopia and preserve their vision and eye health for the future. The sooner they start in the lenses, the more effective they are likely to be.
- Studies by PolyU and Hoya have shown that children who wear MiyoSmart had their myopia reduced by up to 60%, compared to children who wore regular lenses.
- The lens uses patented technology to provide clear vision and constant myopic defocus simultaneously. In simpler terms, this means that the lens changes the focus in the peripheral vision, which helps to manage myopia progression.
- MiYOSMART offers protection with an impact resistant material, UV protection and anti reflection coating for durability and easy cleaning.
- MiYOSMART is child friendly and easy to adapt to. They are just like wearing any other single vision lens.
If your child is between 6 and 18 years old and has already started to show signs of myopia (short-sightedness), wearing MiYOSMART lenses is likely to reduce the rate of progression, meaning that in adult life, they will be significantly less myopic and significantly less at risk of the more serious eye diseases associated with high myopia.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is recommended to wear MiYOSMART from when first correction of myopia is needed or if myopia ≥ -0.50 progression in a year and between the age of 5-15 years old.
Frame selection is very important with MiYOSMART to have the optimum treatment effect. Our staff will be able to provide you with recommendations and opinions on whether the frame is suitable for these lenses.
All new glasses take some time to get used to, but you should allow 1-2 weeks of adaptation time to the lenses. There could be some mild distance blur and blurriness at night time for 1-2 weeks, but usually the effect is not very significant. During the adaptation time, avoid intensive sport activities and physical activities.
High myopia can cause early onset cataracts, retinal detachment, myopia-related macular degeneration, myopia-related glaucoma, lower tolerance of spectacles (e.g. headaches, lower clarity), and higher cost for spectacle lenses.
