MiYOSMART Lenses
Helping kids see clearly today while protecting their vision for tomorrow.
Proven Myopia Control for Children
It’s no secret that today’s children are spending more time indoors, on screens, and focusing on close-up images. These lifestyle shifts are linked to a sharp rise in myopia (short-sightedness), which not only affects schoolwork and sports but may also increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.
The good news? There are safe, effective options to slow down myopia progression. One of the most trusted solutions available to Australians is the MiYOSMART lens by HOYA, now available at The Optical Superstore.
What is a MiYOSMART Lens?
The MiYOSMART is an award-winning spectacle lens designed specifically for children with myopia. It looks and feels like a regular pair of glasses — but it does much more.
Key Features of MiYOSMART Lenses
- Corrects blurry distance vision, just like standard glasses
- Uses special treatment zones to guide healthy eye growth
- Comfortable, safe, and easy for kids to adapt to
Built from impact-resistant material with UV protection
MiYOSMART lenses employ a design that gradually changes how light is focused across the entire lens. By providing the eye with clear central vision and controlled signals in the periphery, the lens helps slow down the elongation process. In other words, it supports healthier eye development, while still giving sharp, everyday vision.
How MiYOSMART Works
As children develop myopia, their eye tends to become slightly longer from front to back, an increase in axial length. Even a small increase in this length can make distant objects appear blurry.
Conventional single-vision lenses correct central vision well but leave the edges of vision (the periphery) in a blur pattern known as peripheral hyperopic defocus. Research shows this type of blur can signal the eye to keep elongating, which may contribute to worsening myopia over time.
MiYOSMART lenses are different to traditional single vision lens designs. They use HOYA’s Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) technology, which provides clear central vision while managing how light is focused in the periphery. This dual approach helps reduce the signals that drive unnecessary eye elongation — supporting healthier eye development and slowing the progression of myopia.
For children, this means two important things:
Clear, everyday vision for school, sport, and play.
Support for long-term eye health by reducing the pace of myopia progression.
What the Research Shows
The MiYOSMART lens is backed by one of the strongest bodies of evidence in myopia control.
A 2-year clinical trial found that it slowed myopia progression by an average of 60% compared to standard single-vision lenses.
Six-year results showed that the effect was sustained with no rebound effect after the children stopped wearing the lenses.
8-year findings: confirmed long-term stability in children who wore MiYOSMART consistently.
