I took my 10 year old to the optometrist in August. He said the only way to slow down her myopia is to basically have her stop reading, and we don't want to do that. He wasn't concerned about her prescription because his sister is -11. My daughter's prescription we found out is -7.75 in her left eye and -5.75 in her right eye, and she has a stigmatism in both eyes. The good news is I thought her prescription was higher than that, but apparently I wasn't reading her last prescription correctly. However, she's worn glasses since she was five, and her vision does get worse every year He didn't even dilate her eyes, but I'm wondering if he should have. Thank you for the awesome videos. I really appreciate it.
My baby aged 8 years his eye sight increased by -5 in the right eye and left eye -4. 50 Cylinder also -1, 50 increase in both eyes What methods do u followed pls help me My son increasing every six months

I wish I could get these glasses in the USA! I contacted the manufacturer and they said the FDA does not allow them yet. I enrolled both of my kids in a Atropin 0.01% trial. I hope this helps their eyesight not get worse. Right now one is -2.5 and the other is -4.25
Can the child or parent see the physical honeycomb pattern in the lenses? I was just wondering how we can physically tell if Miyosmart lenses are prescribed. Also would Ortho K be better for a 11 year old girl? I’m also worried about the glasses sliding off the nose relocating the honeycomb area and making her eyes strained or changing the general looks of her over time. Just my uneducated guess 😅 I’ve been contemplating between the two and I have been just given some generic information about it by my optometrist. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
The MiYOSMART honeycomb pattern is not obvious but can be seen when you look for it. I find the easiest way to spot it is if you put the lenses parallel to the floor and tilt it back and forth under an overhead light source. The child usually adapts rather quickly to the honeycomb pattern such that they become unaware of it. This is great since it doesn't obstruct the child's view on a normal basis but maintains its myopia control effects. For the pros and cons of the different myopia control methods, you can check out my recent video titled "How to Control Myopia Progression in Children **UPDATED**" :)
@@mommydear thanks very much for your detailed information, I really appreciate it. I’ll definitely check out your other videos as well. Thanks again for the informative videos 😊🙏
Hi doctor I have same questions regarding the topic can I talk to you First when I will consider myio I meen do I need to check the child again after 6month for more assurances and insure that the is an progression Secondly what is the level of progress that make me consider myio lens I mean if the process between the two visits is in normal range Thirdly does the myio need special fiting guides? Finally I do appreciate your informative content 👏 👌 keep going Iam optometrist and in ksa and enthusiastic to start this technique in our practice
That’s first time when someone explained it well. Thank you. So what you will recommended for 8 years old girl. Contacts- glasses- drops ??? I am really confused. They telling me options but no one says this is the best for stopping to get your vision worse. So what is the best option for my child?(-2.45/-2.0)
Statistically, either the MiYOSMART (glasses) or MiSight (soft contact lenses) would give the highest level of nearsightedness control as a primary method. To choose between the two is to consider which is more suitable for your daughter’s use. If in doubt, please consult your optometrist.
Hi Mommy Dear, I've been searching for the information about HOYA Miyo over days and this video helps the best! I wish I was in Toronto :( I live in Europe and the eye doctor recommended using glasses with these lenses for my daughter as well as dropping Atropin 0.01%. She's 10, her sight became -3.0/-3.75 from 2.5/2.75 in 6 months. I trust my doctor but wonder if you would've given a different prescription? One another quick question - do children need a special glasses frame for these lenses?
I am glad to hear your daughter has access to these methods of myopia control! The only thing I might suggest is to inquire your optometrist regarding using Atropine 0.02% instead as that is the lowest concentration that is required for the effect of myopia control to be significant according to recent studies. There are specific size requirements that the glasses frame has to meet, but most kid frames fulfill the criteria. What I would recommend is to go with a more quality or sturdy frame since the MiYOSMART lenses are not as cheap to replace as your traditional single vision lenses.
Research shows MiYOSMART lenses yield better myopia control over bifocal lenses. If you think about their design, you will understand why: MiYOSMART lenses create hyperopic defocus effect 360 degrees around the optical center whereas bifocal lenses only create hyperopic defocus effect in the lower portion of the lenses.
Hi Mommy Dear, I was so glad and thankful to see you video and get knowing about it. When I googled it I found that it is not available in the US. Is there any other way that I can have one for my daughter? My 9 years old daughter got nearsightedness because of the remote classes due to the pandemic. 😔 I really want to help her.
I had one case of parents travelling from the States to Canada for them. This is rather out of the way, so I would have your child consider MiSight contact lenses and/or low dose atropine as means of myopia control.
Thank you for your good explanation for miyosmart. My kids now is wearing zeiss myovision pro. but he experiences big drop (-1.25) in 6 months. so now I'm considering the miyosmart. I know both lenses use peripheral defocus theory. and the miyosmart use simultaneous myoptic retinal defocus theory. Could you explain what's the better feature for the miyosmart than the myovision in practice? I'll really appreciate your explanation.
It's almost like trying to build the better egg catcher knowing the forces of gravity. Unfortunately, recent study results show that Zeiss' Myovision Pro lenses have no significant effect in myopia control in children. MiYOSMART lenses are definitely worth switching to based on study results that are out so far. The study that showed the ineffectiveness of Zeiss' Myovision lenses is titled below: Effect of spectacle lenses designed to reduce relative peripheral hyperopia on myopia progression in Japanese children: a 2-year multicenter randomized controlled trial August 2018, Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology 62(5):1-7
@@tango9944 Yes, other than while child is sleeping or taking a bath, keeping the MiYOSMART lenses on will ensure the myopia control design is in place.
Unfortunately, your child’s prescription is outside the fitting parameters of MiYOSMART lenses. If you haven’t already, you can ask the optometrist regarding low dose atropine as a possible myopia control method for your child.
Hi Mommy Dear, my daughter (6y.o) Sph -6 and -1.25cyd for right eye. Sph -3.50 and -0.50 cyd for left eye. Was wondering if Miyosmart lens will help? Or it's better to use executive bifocals? She already use atropine 0.01% for 4 months but unfortunately for her right eye is not work as good as the left one. And she use eye patch for 6 hours each day. Thanks.
MiYOSMART lenses shows a higher level of control than executive bifocals. It's design will also avoid the image jump effect as seen in the executive bifocal design. The only thing I might suggest is to inquire your optometrist regarding using Atropine 0.02% instead as that is the lowest concentration that is required for the effect of myopia control to be significant according to recent studies.
If there are any concerns or doubts, take your child to see an optometrist and present your questions. Whether or not your child needs these glasses hangs heavily on what is seen during his/her eye exam.
Thank you so much for this knowledge full video my daughter has _1.25 sphere _2.25cyl ,1.70 axis od and os _1.25 sphere ,_1.25cyl and 020 axis astigmatism in both eyes so do i need myo smart lenses she is 11 years old or can she go for contract lenses ?
Since MiSight contact lenses do not come with astigmatism correction, MiYOSMART lenses would be the more suitable option for your daughter for myopia control.
My daughter has start wearing her myopia glasses since last two weeks but now she is saying that her near vision gone bad since wearing this glasses before this glasses only far was affected. She can see clearly with myopic glasse.
Hi Dr. Mommy Dear, if a myopic child can see objects in short distance clearly without eyeglasses, wearing MiYoSMART with the "Central Optical Zone" designed for distance power, can the child still see objects in short distance clearly ?
Most children have an intact accommodation system to focus from far to near so they should see clearly even through a prescription that is meant to correct their distance vision. The optometrist will check the integrity of the child’s focusing system in the comprehensive eye exam before prescribing the final glasses prescription.
MiYOSMART lenses are unfortunately not yet available in the United States. Perhaps you can consider MiSight 1-Day soft contact lenses as means of myopia control for your child as it is available in the States. You can learn more about this option in my other video: th-cam.com/video/qvNZyss3SW8/w-d-xo.html

why miosmart using power +3.50 in perpheral part of lens ?? bcz some myopic control lenses are using +2.50 periphery?? why its changing ?? any reason ??
