MiYOSMART SUN – New Photochromic MiYOSMART Lens
Other than using myopia control methods with lenses such as MiYOSMART, Stellest, ZEISS MyoCARE (coming soon) and Ortho K, to slow down your child’s myopia progression, another way is to engage your child in more outdoors activities. Studies have shown that spending time outdoors at least 2 hours a day may reduce risk of myopia onset and its progression. However, with more time spent outdoors, your child will be exposed to more sunlight and even intense sunlight.
To address this concern, Hoya have launched MiYOSMART SUN, which is MiYOSMART lens with photochromic (self-tinting) feature in Singapore!
Hoya MiYOSMART SUN
HOYA MiYOSMART is a myopia control lenses which helps to slow down myopia progression up to 60% in children.
Outdoor Time & Sun Protection
91% of Eye Care Professionals recommend spending at least 2 hours outdoors per day
Spending time outdoors may slow down myopia progression in children, and as such it is the most common recommended behavioural myopia management solution given by Eye Care Professionals. It may be the simplest and cheapest intervention that parents can encourage right away
Children’s eyes should be protected from intense sunlight when outdoors
Children are more susceptible to eye damage from UV light than adults, as the majority of lifetime sun exposure occurs under the age of 21, so it is especially important to offer them effective and reliable sun protection. This is because children’s pupils are larger and the lenses of their eyes are more transparent, which allows more UV rays to reach the retina. Furthermore, single-vision sunglasses may not be the most effective myopia management solution for myopic children.
Myopic children on atropine treatment are particularly likely to experience photophobia, due to atropine dilating the pupil. Intense sunlight may put them off going outdoors, playing sports and joining activities that are good for their wellbeing.
