Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a growing concern among children, with increasing screen time and reduced outdoor activity contributing to its progression.

At Eyes in the Village in Winnipeg, we are proud to offer MiYOSMART lenses—an advanced solution designed to slow the progression of myopia while ensuring clear vision. If you are considering MiYOSMART for your child, here are some frequently asked questions to help you make an informed decision.

What Are MiYOSMART Lenses?

MiYOSMART lenses are specially designed spectacle lenses developed by HOYA Vision Care to correct myopia while slowing its progression. They use Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) technology, which provides clear vision in the central area while utilizing a treatment technology that gently alters how light focuses on the retina. This method has been clinically proven to reduce myopia progression by an average of 60 percent compared to traditional lenses.

How Do MiYOSMART Lenses Work?

Unlike regular glasses, MiYOSMART lenses work by:

  • Correcting distance vision like standard prescription lenses
  • Creating a myopic defocus effect to slow down eyeball elongation, which is the main cause of myopia progression
  • Providing a safe, non-invasive approach to myopia management

This dual function makes MiYOSMART an effective long-term solution for children with progressive myopia.

What Are the Benefits of MiYOSMART Lenses?

  • Proven Myopia Control: Clinically shown to slow myopia progression by up to 60 percent
  • Non-Invasive & Safe: A simple, effective alternative to eye drops or contact lenses
  • Durable & Child-Friendly: Made from impact-resistant materials, ideal for active children
  • Aesthetic & Comfortable: Looks like regular glasses for an easy transition to myopia management

Who Can Benefit from MiYOSMART Lenses?

MiYOSMART lenses are recommended for children ages 6 to 18 who have progressive myopia. The earlier myopia management begins, the better the long-term results. We will conduct a comprehensive eye exam to find the best fit for your young one.

How Quickly Will I See Results?

Studies have shown that children who wear MiYOSMART lenses experience a 59% reduction of myopia progression within the first year. Continued use can provide lasting benefits giving your child the gift of preserved vision into adulthood.

How Do I Care for MiYOSMART Lenses?

  • Clean regularly with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner
  • Store in a protective case when not in use
  • Schedule routine eye exams to monitor effectiveness and update prescriptions as needed
