Supporting Growing Eyes with MiYOSMART IQ Lenses

Myopia, or nearsightedness, affects how clearly children see distant objects. As a child grows, their eyes grow too, which can cause nearsightedness to progress rapidly during their school years. Myopia management is a proactive approach designed to slow this progression rather than simply updating prescriptions year after year.

At RVEC, we are pleased to offer MiYOSMART IQ spectacle lenses as an innovative myopia management option. These lenses provide clear everyday vision while actively working to slow eye growth.

Partnering with our team gives your child a clear path forward. Learn more about MiYOSMART or book your child’s myopia consultation today.

What Is Progressive Myopia?

Progressive myopia occurs when a child’s eye stretches and elongates faster than normal as they grow. This structural change causes distant vision to blur continuously, often resulting in stronger glasses prescriptions at every annual eye exam.

While needing thicker lenses is frustrating for a growing child, high myopia also carries long-term health risks. Over time, significant eye elongation places stress on the interior tissues of the eye, increasing the likelihood of developing serious eye conditions in adulthood, including glaucoma, retinal detachment, myopic maculopathy, and early cataracts.

The Science Behind MiYOSMART IQ Spectacle Lenses

MiYOSMART IQ lenses use innovative Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) technology to manage nearsightedness in growing eyes. The center of the lens provides clear distance vision, while hundreds of tiny treatment segments create specialized light signals that tell the eye to slow its elongation.

Clinical studies show high treatment efficacy, with proven benefits demonstrated in children as young as 4 years old across a wide range of prescriptions. To support maximum treatment effectiveness, children should wear their MiYOSMART IQ lenses for all their waking hours, or at least 15 hours each day.

Comprehensive Myopia Assessments for Your Family

Taking action early helps protect your child’s sight as they learn, play, and grow. During a myopia consultation at RVEC, our optometrists perform comprehensive evaluations to monitor eye development accurately.

In addition to measuring your child’s refractive error (their glasses prescription), we use optical biometry to measure their axial length (the precise distance from the front of the eye to the back). Tracking axial length over time helps us evaluate how fast the eye is growing and determine if MiYOSMART IQ lenses are the right fit.
