HOYA myopia management products
Myopia management products listed by Myopia Profile have been specifically designed for myopia control or myopia management in children, and have some form of regulatory approval or marking for this form of use. They also have randomized controlled trial research data supporting their efficacy, unless otherwise noted. It is up to the individual eye care practitioner to be aware of regulatory requirements for prescribing in their country of practice, and also be aware that not all products are available in all countries.
MiYOSMART iQ
MiYOSMART iQ represents the latest evolution of MiYOSMART spectacle lenses with revolutionary Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) technology which is supported by over 150 scientific publications. Building on the DIMS technology, MiYOSMART iQ features a new DIMS Triple Enhanced Design (TED) with three enhancements that drive greater myopia control effectiveness in children.
Defocus segments are positioned closer to the centre of the lens to maintain more consistent stimulation of the near-peripheral retina, the region most sensitive to myopic defocus.1 Each segment provides increased defocus power (from +3.5 D to +4.5 D) to strengthen the defocus signal. Additional defocus segments extend the treatment zone coverage within the peripheral visual field, ensuring consistent stimulus even when lenses are fitted to larger spectacle frames.2

MiYOSMART
The MiYOSMART spectacle lens can be considered as a first-line treatment for simultaneous myopic correction and myopia control, with a two-year randomized controlled trial showing robust efficacy and acceptance in children. Data for up to six years of wear in children has been published, as well as eight-year data. It can be considered as one of the best available myopia control spectacle lens designs, being superior to progressive addition and bifocal lenses.
