Glasses remain one of the more popular options for correcting vision. For our young patients with progressive myopia we are fortunate to have access to effective therapies, including glasses, to slow down the increase in prescription strength.
Our parents with higher levels of myopia (nearsightedness) are often concerned about their children following a similar path. Many are aware of the increased risk for diseases of the eye with higher levels of myopia. In some cases, the disease risk is over ten times higher compared to someone without myopia.
One of the more popular options at MVO for myopia control is the HOYA MiYOSMART glasses lens. It incorporates patented DIMS technology which features alternating treatment zones with clear-focus zones in a concentric fashion around the center of the eye. In a series of studies* children who wore these glasses had significantly reduced myopia progression compared to those that wore standard glasses with no myopia-reducing effects.
