Myopia Control

MiYOSMART Myopia Control

MiYOSMART lenses are a revolutionary, non-invasive solution for managing myopia (short-sightedness) in children. Developed by Hoya, these award-winning lenses are clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia by up to 60%.

Understanding Myopia

Why Myopia Matters

Myopia, or short-sightedness, is becoming increasingly common in children. Without intervention, a child's prescription can increase year on year, leading to higher prescriptions in adulthood and an increased risk of eye health problems later in life.

Standard glasses correct the vision but don't address the underlying progression. MiYOSMART lenses do both — providing clear vision today whilst actively slowing down the rate at which myopia worsens.

Myopia is on the rise globally, especially in children
Higher myopia increases the risk of serious eye conditions in later life
Early intervention can make a significant difference
Lifestyle factors like screen time and reduced outdoor activity contribute to progression

Clinically Proven Results

60%

Reduction in myopia progression in a 2-year clinical trial

21.5%

Of children wearing MiYOSMART had no myopia progression at all

Based on a 2-year randomised clinical trial published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.

Understanding Myopia & Hyperopia

In a myopic eye, light focuses in front of the retina rather than on it, causing distant objects to appear blurred.

The Technology

How MiYOSMART Works

MiYOSMART lenses use Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) technology to slow eye growth.

Clear Central Vision

The central zone provides full optical correction for clear vision at all distances.

D.I.M.S. Technology

Hundreds of tiny segments around the lens create myopic defocus, signalling the eye to slow its growth.

Designed for Children

Impact-resistant, thin, lightweight and cosmetically appealing — looks and feels like a regular lens.

Award-Winning

Winner of multiple international innovation awards for its groundbreaking approach to myopia management.

Next Steps

Is MiYOSMART Right for Your Child?

MiYOSMART may be suitable for your child if they are myopic and their prescription is still changing. Our optometrists can assess your child and advise whether MiYOSMART is the right option. The sooner myopia management begins, the greater the potential benefit.

Your child may benefit if they:

Are short-sighted and their prescription is increasing
Have parents who are myopic (genetic risk factor)
Spend significant time on near work or screens
Are aged between 6 and 18

Every child is different. Request a callback and we'll discuss whether MiYOSMART is right for your child.
