Myopia is progressing among children at an unprecedented rate. As opticians, our role is not limited to correcting vision; it is also to slow the progression of myopia to protect your children's future eye health.
This is where Hoya MiYOSMART lenses make a difference. Thanks to cutting-edge technology, they significantly slow the progression of myopia.
What is D.I.M.S. technology?
Unlike standard spectacle lenses that simply correct vision, MiYOSMART lenses use patented D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) technology.
The principle: The lens has a central zone to correct myopia, surrounded by hundreds of small "myopic defocus" segments spread across the whole surface.
The effect: This "honeycomb" design creates a defocus that sends a signal to the eye to slow its excessive elongation, the main driver of myopia in children.
What clinical studies say
The effectiveness of MiYOSMART lenses is not just a marketing promise; it is supported by rigorous research published in leading scientific journals.
Scientific evidence: A 6-year clinical study by the Centre for Myopia Research at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University showed that MiYOSMART lenses slow myopia progression by 60% on average in children, compared with standard lenses.

Why choose MiYOSMART lenses at Michils Opticiens?
A non-invasive solution: Unlike some medication-based methods (eye drops) or orthokeratology, MiYOSMART lenses are worn like ordinary glasses, without risk or discomfort.
Strength and safety: Made from highly impact-resistant polycarbonate, they are perfect for active children and meet the strictest safety standards.
Expert follow-up: Myopia control requires rigorous follow-up. At Michils Opticiens, we carry out regular checks to measure the effectiveness of the correction and make sure the lenses always match your child's changing vision.
Which children are they recommended for?
MiYOSMART lenses are ideal for children whose myopia is progressing quickly. The earlier treatment starts, the greater the chances of limiting high myopia in adulthood.
