Embracing Brighter Futures With MiYOSMART Sun With Full Control

Looking forward to quality family time? It’s the perfect opportunity for parents to bond with their children through enriching outdoor activities like picnics, hikes, and cycling. These experiences foster physical and emotional growth while also contributing to the prevention of myopia progression. These experiences bring joy to the family, but did you know they also play a crucial role in slowing down the progression of myopia?^1,2

Natural sunlight and distant vision stimulate the release of dopamine, which helps to regulate eye growth and prevent the elongation of the eyeball, a leading cause of myopia. Yet, maintaining a balance is crucial. While outdoor activities offer benefits, safeguarding your child’s eyes from the sun’s intensity during outdoor excursions is imperative.^3-5 Children’s eyes, with their larger pupils and less effective UV filtration, are inherently more susceptible to eye damage from UV light than adults.⁴

Besides, intensive sunlight might discourage outdoor play, particularly for children sensitive to light. This vulnerability necessitates a proactive stance in safeguarding our children’s vision against the potential harm of UV rays and intensive light.

Recognizing this, HOYA introduces a revolutionary solution to enhance these precious family moments, protect our children’s future vision and provide visual comfort.

With MiYOSMART Sun with Full Control, you can look forward to an effective, safe, and easy way of myopia management with all-around protection to embrace brighter futures with your little ones.^6-9 Find out how!

The photochromic feature of MiYOSMART Sun offers a significant advantage for children, especially those with heightened light sensitivity or those on Atropine therapy!^11-13 It helps in decreasing photophobia⁸, reducing glare^7-9, and improving vision in intense sunlight and photostress recovery time^7#.

The versatile solution to myopia management is particularly beneficial for children on atropine treatment who might otherwise shy away from outdoor activities that are good for their well-being.^11-13

MiYOSMART Sun with Full Control also tackles a frequent hassle for kids: the hassle of having to swap their regular eyeglasses for sunglasses when they head outside. This can lead to reluctance or oversight, particularly among your energetic little ones who may find it bothersome to lug around an additional pair of sunglasses or who might forget to make the switch when it’s most needed!

Beyond mitigating UV, the lenses provide extended blue light protection, combating digital eye strain and reducing long-term screen-related risks. They also feature an advanced anti-bacterial coating that actively inhibits bacteria growth on the lens surface, promoting cleaner and safer eyewear for children.
