The smart way to treat myopia in children.

Together we can tackle myopia in children.

Parents concerned about their children’s health and well-being, who invest heavily in their kids’ futures, will be at the forefront of an already vast and growing market for myopia control lenses. As a non-invasive and effective myopia control solution, MiYOSMART lets you help parents and children ensure future vision health while continuing to tap into the market potential that fuels your business.

An award-winning, breakthrough ophthalmic lens.

Through their researches^3-5 on myopic defocus theory, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) found that myopia can be controlled by simultaneously providing clear vision and constant myopic defocus.

The researchers found that the axial length of the eyeball is affected by the position of an image projected in relation to the retina. When the position of a welldefined portion of the projected image is located continuously in front of the retina, the axial length tends to become shorter and vice versa. Thus, this indicates that projecting images in front and on the retina at the same time can control axial growth and myopia progression.

Tapping into PolyU’s expertise in myopia control, HOYA joined forces with them in 2012 and began to develop a technology to control myopia progression using ophthalmic lenses.

This technology is known as the Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.), which is the basis of MiYOSMART.

An award-winning and clinically proven solution for myopia control.

MiYOSMART is a non-invasive lens engineered specifically to correct myopia and slows its progression.2 years of data shows a 60% slowdown of myopia progression on average—myopia progression (SER) slowed by 59% and axial elongation (AL) decreased by 60% compared with those wearing single vision lenses. Myopia progression was completely stopped in 21.5% of those wearing MiYOSMART. The 2 year randomized controlled trial involved 160 children aged 8 to 13.⁶MiYOSMART is a non-invasive lens engineered specifically to correct myopia and slows its progression.In 2018, the MiYOSMART lens won the Gold Prize, Grand Award & Special Gold Award Int’l Exhibition of Inventions, International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, Switzerland. In 2020, it won Silmo d’Or Award in the Vision category at the Silmo Paris Optical Fair.

A patented technology for your young patients.

MiYOSMART with D.I.M.S. technology is a single vision corrective lens with a front surface that is comprised of hundreds of small segments, each providing myopic defocus. When the eye sees through a pupil-sized area, shown in the illustration below, there is a defocus zone in the eye.

This lens structure makes it possible to simultaneously slow the growth of the eyeball and provide clear vision. Within the 9.4 mm diameter circle area in the center of the lens, there are no defocus segments. This is designed to make it possible to measure lens power and correct refractive error to meet clear vision needs.

How D.I.M.S technology works in MiYOSMART

To effectively control myopia progression, myopic defocus has to be experienced by the wearer constantly, even during eye movement. This requires a significant quantity of defocus segments to be evenly distributed on the lens surface. With its decades of experience in ophthalmic lens production and development, HOYA incorporated the D.I.M.S. technology and successfully produced smooth-surfaced lenses with multiple defocus segments. Due to the excellent concept and innovative production technology, MiYOSMART’s cosmetic appearance is highly similar to regular single vision lenses

With MiYOSMART’s features and your care, we can give children better vision and better protection.

Since children are active, there is a need for the lens material to be impact-resistant to offer their eyes the protection they need. MiYOSMART uses polycarbonate 1.59 which is a highly impact-resistant material that has passed the high velocity impact drop ball test.

Eye Shield also comes with UV protection for an all-round protective solution.

MiYOSMART comes with an easy-to-wipe special anti-reflective, coating to fit into any active child’s lifestyle.

This week is World Optometry Week, and its very symbolic as we recognize and honor the eye care profession. One devoted to providing comprehensive eye care, with professionals who work earnestly to make this care accessible to all.

The World Council of Optometry (WCO) defines an optometrist as a healthcare professional who provides comprehensive eye care and vision care. This includes refraction and dispensing detectional diagnosis, management of disease (s) in the eye, and the rehabilitation of conditions of the visual system.

Here are a few general eye care routines that can help you maintain healthy vision:

• Include Essential Vitamins And Minerals in Your Diet: Foods rich in vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants and help prevent most eye problems and vision-related issues. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acid are also important.
• Use Sunglasses: Sunglasses play a huge role in protecting your eyes from the damaging UVA and UVB rays. Exposure to sun rays causes many vision-related issues, such as macular degeneration and cataracts. 
• Always Wear Protective Eyewear: Always remember to wear protective eyewear to avoid the risk of injury e.g. during contact sports.
• Know Your Family’s Eye Health History: Some eye issues such as glaucoma, are hereditary. Knowledge of your family history can help you take precautions.
• Avoid Touching Your Eyes Frequently: Frequently touching your eye makes it vulnerable to infection. Anything that irritates your eyes can affect your vision. You must always clean your hands before touching your eyes.
• For computer users, keep the area well lit: Ensure that the area is well lit, and the computer screen is not brighter than the background light. Also, sit away from the window to minimize glare as it makes your eyes work harder, thus straining them.
• Observe 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, take a break and look at something that’s at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This helps in reducing eye strain and improves the eye’s ability to focus.
• Blink: Failure to blink causes dry eye syndrome, which is when there isn’t enough moisture in the eye. So it is important to blink as often as possible. Take extra care to do this while working, as we are prone to being so engrossed that we sometimes forget to blink.

Most people spend a lot of time choosing the frames for their glasses because of the choices available. However, very few realize that they also have a wide range of lenses available to them that offer protection for their eyes and give them the clearest and sharpest vision.

While selecting frames is very important to ensure comfort and look but choosing the lenses that are right for your vision, lifestyle and needs also requires time and consideration.

What lenses should you choose?

Your eyes and eyeglasses must work together to create the clearest vision in a comfortable way each and every day. This is why it’s important to choose the lenses that are best suited for you. The lenses of your glasses aim to correct, protect and enhance your vision. Here are some of the lenses options available to you:

How to Choose the right lenses?

Here are some helpful tips for you to choose the right lenses for your glasses to make your decision easier or at least make sure you make the best choice.

Everyone has differing needs when it comes to eyeglasses. Be it fashion or functional needs, the choices are many. So before selecting your glasses you need to consider a few factors when making your decision. Here are some questions you should ask yourself before deciding:

Do you have trouble seeing things up close or far away?

Short sightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia) are common eye conditions that can easily be corrected through single vision prescription lenses. If you seem to have trouble seeing objects that are near and far, you likely need progressive lenses.

Are you having trouble reading?

If you are over 40, this is a common symptom of presbyopia, which may require progressive lenses.

Do you use the computer a lot or watch a lot of TV?

Computer glasses can prevent eye strain and over exposure to blue light. These lenses are perfect if you spend a lot of time in front of digital screens.

Are you an outdoors person?

UV lenses can be useful in protecting your eyes from over exposure to harmful UV light. In addition, photochromic or adaptive lenses ensure comfortable vision both indoors and outdoors.

Do you play a lot of sports?

Anti-scratch, anti-smudge, anti-dust or even water-repellent lens coatings on your glasses can help you enjoy your active lifestyle to the fullest.

Do you drive at night?

Anti-glare lenses can prevent accidents by providing crystal clear vision throughout your ride.

There are many more questions you should ask yourself, but these should provide you with a good starting point when it comes to choosing the lenses that suit you best. Make sure you spend enough time discussing these options with your eye specialist.
