Myopia is a global concern.
Nothing is more important than the health and wellbeing of your child, now and in the future, you want to see your child thrive and that’s the key: seeing. You may have noticed your child struggling to see clearly at a distance, making it harder to concentrate at school and have a fulfilling experience at play. Your child may have myopia.
Whether it's tablets, computers or homework, today's kids focus more on things right in front of them rather than spending time outdoors. This behavior is leading to more and more children developing myopia - also known as short-sightedness. By 2020, more than one-third of the world's population was short-sighted. This means that there has been a sharp increase within just two decades. Hereditary, behavioural and environmental factors also play a part. 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.

Myopia is a consequence of the eye being slightly too long. Conventional single vision lenses can correct myopia, but they are not designed to slow it down. Rather, when corrected with these lenses, light is projected behind the retina, causing some children's eyes to grow excessively long and exacerbating short-sightedness. With MyCon lenses, light is diffused so that it strikes the periphery in front of the retina rather than behind it. This slows eye-length growth. The areas that control myopia progression in a MyCon lens are located laterally. This ensures that the visual acuity above and below is affected as little as possible.

Normal single vision lenses correct myopia, creating sharp vision. However, the way they correct myopia causes light in the periphery to hit behind the retina. Myopia is a result of the eye being slightly too long. The way normal single vision lenses correct myopia causes light in the periphery to hit behind the retina. For some children, their eyes try to adapt and grow even longer, which causes the myopia to progress further.

MyCon lenses correct myopia while controlling eye elongation, slowing myopia progression. With MyCon lenses, light in the periphery is refracted to hit in front of the retina, slowing eye elongation, a crucial aspect of maintaining children’s vision. With a special lens design, MyCon lenses create sharp focus vision while ensuring that myopia in children does not progress uncontrollably.

A breakthrough spectacle lens - This revolutionary spectacle lens based on patented Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) Technology was developed in cooperation with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2014. MiYOSMART is easy to fit, just like regular single vision lens.
How does MiYOSMART work? - Cutting edge research conducted by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University showed that myopia progression can be managed by providing clear vision and constant myopic defocus simultaneously. |
