Myopia Today

An estimated 5 billion people or half of the global population, could be myopic in 20501. The incidence of myopia is predicted to further rise, as factors associated with a greater likelihood of myopia increase1. These factors include near-work activities, less time spent outdoors, and high value placed on education.

About MiYOSMART

MiYOSMART with Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) Technology is a single vision corrective lens with a convex surface that is comprised of hundred of small segments, each providing myopic defocus. This lens structure makes it possible to simultaneously retard the growth of the eyeball and provide clear vision. To effectively control myopia progression, myopic defocus has to be experienced by the wearer constantly, even during eye movement.

MiYOSMART is Clinically Proven!

The results of a two-year clinical trial concluded that children wearing MiYOSMART lens had myopic progression reduced by an average of 59%* and axial elongation of eye decreased by an average of 60%* compared to children wearing conventional single vision lens.
