Shaping a Clearer Future: The Eye Place Opticians x HOYA for Myopia Management
26 Sep 2025
Eye Care
At The Eye Place Opticians, we’re dedicated to protecting and preserving vision—for today and for the future. One of the most important areas of modern eye care is myopia management, especially in children and teenagers. That’s why we’re proud to partner with HOYA, a global leader in lens innovation, to offer advanced myopia control lenses designed to slow the progression of short-sightedness and support long-term eye health.
Understanding Myopia and Why It Matters
Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a growing global concern, with more children developing the condition earlier than ever before. It causes distant objects to appear blurry and, if left unmanaged, can progress rapidly during childhood and adolescence. Higher levels of myopia not only impact day-to-day life, but also increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life—such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
That’s where proactive, science-backed myopia management comes in.
Introducing HOYA’s Myopia Management Lenses
As part of our commitment to forward-thinking eye care, The Eye Place offers HOYA’s MiyoSmart lenses, an award-winning solution for managing myopia progression in children. These lenses use innovative D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) technology, clinically proven to slow myopia progression by an average of 60% compared to standard single vision lenses.
Key benefits of HOYA MiyoSmart lenses include:
- Non-invasive and easy to wear – just like regular glasses
- Safe and effective for children as young as 6
- Highly durable and UV-protective for active lifestyles
- Clinically tested and backed by peer-reviewed research
