Lenses for children and young people with myopia(short-sightedness)
Recognizing and correcting myopia in children
Nothing is more important than the health and well-being of your child. If your child cannot see clearly in the distance, has difficulty concentrating at school and is restricted when playing, it may be due to short-sightedness (myopia) is present.
The number of short-sighted people is increasing worldwide. According to a WHO estimate, 50% of the world’s population is expected to be affected by myopia by 2050.1
If myopia in children is not corrected, this can lead to permanent visual impairment.
Innovative lenses for slowing down myopia
MiYOSMART is the first non-invasive solution developed specifically as a spectacle lens for myopia management in children and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 18.
A two-year clinical study shows that the special lenses can slow down the progression of myopia by an average of 60%2, which means they can protect children’s quality of vision and well-being in the long term.
How does MiYOSMART work?
Myopia is a congenital or acquired visual defect. It occurs, among other things, when the eye grows too quickly and becomes too long. The rays of light are then focused in front of the retina instead of on it.
MiYOSMART corrects short-sightedness in the central zone like a normal single-vision lens. The surrounding D.I.M.S. zone contains tiny segments of +3.5 diopters each. This ensures that the growth of the eye length is not excessively stimulated and thus slows down the progression of myopia. D.I.M.S. stands for “Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments”.
Functional and aesthetic
From the outside, the lenses do not look any different from normal single-vision lenses. The special properties are only visible against the light or on closer inspection.
In addition, the lenses are particularly impact-resistant for children’s safety, hard-wearing, easy to clean and offer 100% UV protection.
