MiYoSmart Study

Myopia (short-sightedness) is becoming more common in children — and it can get worse every year as the eyes grow. But the good news is, there are now smart glasses that can help slow it down. MiYOSMART lenses are specially designed to manage myopia, helping to protect your child’s long-term eye health.

What Are MiYOSMART Spectacle Lenses?

MiYOSMART lenses look like normal glasses, but they have clever technology built into them.

How they work:
These lenses have a clear centre for sharp vision, and a special pattern around the outside that gently “tricks” the eye into slowing its growth. This helps reduce how quickly your child’s eyesight worsens.

Technology name: D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments)
These tiny segments help create a signal that tells the eye to stop growing too fast.

What Does the Research Say?

Big studies have been done to test how well MiYOSMART lenses work. Let’s look at the results.

Who was in the study?

• Children aged 8–13 years

• Study took place in Hong Kong and other parts of Asia and Europe

• They wore MiYOSMART glasses every day for 2–6 years
  
  

What did the results show? 

The children were monitored over 2 years 

Vision change (prescription) over 2 years 50–60% slower

Eye growth (axial length) Grew about 0.3 mm less over 2–3 years

Why eye length matters:
The longer the eyeball gets, the higher the risk of serious eye problems later in life (like retinal detachment or glaucoma). Slowing this growth is a big win! These numbers may seem small however 0.3mm is equivalent to 3.33 dioptres in a spectacle prescription. 

Is MiYOSMART Right for My Child?

MiYOSMART lenses are suitable for many children aged 6+ who are developing short-sightedness. They're ideal for:

• Children whose prescription changes each year

 They’re just like regular glasses — no special care needed!
