Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a rapidly growing concern among children worldwide. We now understand that wearing only regular glasses to correct vision is not enough to address myopia, as it does nothing to slow down its progression. Thankfully, advancements in optical technology have introduced ways to both correct vision and actively slow down myopia progression. MiYOSMART glasses, which have been around for a while, are one of the most innovative solutions for managing myopia. These glasses look just like regular ones but feature a special design that works to control myopia effectively.
What Makes MiYOSMART Special?
MiYOSMART lenses utilize a revolutionary technology called D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments). This design creates a specific pattern on the lens surface that looks like a honey comb. It helps control myopia progression while still allowing clear vision. Unlike traditional corrective lenses that merely adjust focus, MiYOSMART actively slows down the eye’s elongation, a key factor in worsening myopia.
Backed by Science
Research has shown that MiYOSMART lenses can reduce myopia progression by an average of 60% compared to standard single-vision lenses. This impressive result underscores the effectiveness of MiYOSMART as a powerful tool in managing myopia in children.
What Makes MiYOSMART a Good Option for Your Child
When comparing When comparing MiYOSMART to other firstline myopia control options like orthokeratology and soft contact lenses, it’s important to understand why MiYOSMART may be a better fit for certain children.
- Ease of Use: MiYOSMART glasses are perfect for young children or those who are not ready for the responsibility of handling contact lenses. There’s no need to worry about inserting, removing, or cleaning lenses.
- Comfort and Adaptability: These lenses are ideal for children who are apprehensive about wearing contact lenses or using eye drops. They provide a non-invasive option while still delivering effective myopia management.
- Sun Protection: MiYOSMART lenses are available in transition options (that darken in sunlight) and sunglasses, making them suitable for various lighting conditions and outdoor activities, while ensuring your child’s eyes are protected and comfortable.
Why the Right Frames Make All the Difference
The effectiveness of MiYOSMART lenses doesn’t solely rely on the lens technology. Proper frame selection and fitting are crucial to ensure optimal performance. For children to experience the full benefits of MiYOSMART glasses, the lenses must be precisely positioned relative to their eyes. This ensures the D.I.M.S. technology works as intended.
Our highly skilled dispensers are here to help. They are trained to guide families in choosing frames that fit securely and comfortably on children’s faces, ensuring proper alignment of the lenses. A well-fitted frame not only enhances the lens effectiveness but also ensures that children will enjoy wearing their glasses throughout the day.
