Introducing NEW MiYOSMART iQ

As children grow, their vision changes rapidly. For a growing number of children, short-sightedness (myopia) is becoming more than just a minor inconvenience requiring stronger glasses each year; it is a progressive eye condition that can impact long-term visual health.

At Mackey Opticians, we are committed to offering the latest advancements in paediatric eye care. We are pleased to share the next evolution in non-invasive myopia control for children: HOYA MiYOSMART iQ.

Clinical evaluations show exceptional results with MiYOSMART iQ: 9 out of 10 children showed no clinically relevant myopia progression during their first 12 months of wear.

What is Myopia and Why Does Early Management Matter?

Myopia occurs when the eyeball grows slightly too long from front to back, causing distant objects to appear blurry. Beyond the need for prescription glasses, rapidly progressing myopia increases the overall length of the eye. Managing myopia progression during childhood helps preserve visual clarity and supports long-term eye health as children grow.

Traditionally, standard single-vision lenses corrected distance vision without addressing the underlying optical signals that stimulate eye growth. Today, dedicated myopia management spectacle lenses correct a child's sight while actively signaling the eye to slow its axial growth.
