Here’s how HOYA Lens’ MiYOSMART Chameleon Photochromic with HOYA Full Control coating lenses helps protect kids’ eyes from harsh sunlight and slow down myopia progression.

Parents, did you know that children are more susceptible to eye damage from UV light than adults? What if we told you there’s a game-changing solution that manages myopia while protecting their precious eyes so children do not have to sacrifice their fun outdoors? Meet HOYA Lens’ innovative MiYOSMART Chameleon Photochromic with HOYA Full Control coating – the perfect blend of safety and style for your outdoor-loving kids!

As the year-end school holidays are approaching, your little ones will surely be spending more time outdoors (which is great for slowing down myopia progression!). Read on to find out how kids can benefit from the extra protection for their eyes:

Effectively slows down myopia progression

HOYA’S MiYOSMART lenses are equipped with the revolutionary Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) Technology, which is clinically proven to effectively slow down myopia progression by an average of 60%.¹ This has been supported by a six-year follow-up clinical study which showed that the myopia control effect was sustained over time for children who wore the lenses.²

We also love that MiYOSMART lenses are low maintenance, so children won’t have any trouble wearing and caring for them. The lenses are also water-repellent and easy to wipe, so you won’t have to worry if your child gets them a little dirty during messy playtime.

Lenses that rapidly adapt to sunlight levels

So, how does the MiYOSMART Chameleon Photochromic with HOYA Full Control coating work? The lenses rapidly adapt to the levels of sunlight by automatically darkening outdoors and fading back to clear indoors. This feature will be a huge relief for kids to enjoy fuss-free outdoor play and sports which are great for their well-being, especially for myopic children on atropine treatment (who tend to experience photophobia due to atropine dilating the pupil, which may put them off going outdoors and joining activities that are good for their wellbeing).

The lenses and coating also provide extra comfort in a digital world and aid in hygiene maintenance by reducing bacterial growth on the lens surfaces. The thin, lightweight, impact-resistant and UV-protected lenses also provides a safe and non-invasive way of managing myopia.

So, this year-end, don’t hold back on letting the kids unleash their energy outdoors! Secure your appointment with your nearest eye care practitioner today and discover how to properly protect their precious eyes!
