What Is ZEISS MyoCare?

A Third Well-Engineered Option

ZEISS MyoCare brings the optical engineering heritage of ZEISS, a company with more than 175 years in precision optics, into the myopia control category. Its lens design pairs a central zone of clear distance correction with a pattern of cylindrical lenslet elements across the periphery, generating continuous myopic defocus.

ZEISS's cylindrical lenslet geometry differs from the segmented and ring-based designs used by other lenses, offering families a genuinely different engineering approach with similar clinical intent.

A Different Engineering Approach

ZEISS took a distinct optical path to the same clinical goal, engineered specifically for visual comfort.

Cylindrical Lenslet Elements

A distinct lenslet geometry, different from segmented D.I.M.S. or concentric H.A.L. ring designs.

Wide Field Of Clear Vision

Designed to preserve a broad, comfortable central visual field alongside the treatment zone.

Reduced Night-Time Glare

Engineered specifically to minimise haloes and glare around lights compared with earlier designs.

175+ Years Of ZEISS Optics

Precision engineering heritage carried directly into the MyoCare lens design.

A Genuine Third Option

Gives families a distinct engineering approach alongside MiyoSMART and Stellest.

How It Works

Continuous Defocus, Engineered For Comfort

MyoCare is designed to influence eye growth while keeping the everyday visual experience as close to standard glasses as possible.

Cylindrical Lenslet Optics Diagram
1

A clear central zone corrects everyday vision

The middle of the lens works like a standard single-vision lens, giving your child sharp, clear eyesight for reading, the whiteboard and everyday life.

2

Cylindrical lenslets surround it

A pattern of small cylindrical elements across the periphery creates continuous myopic defocus, engineered to minimise visual disturbance.

3

The signal reaches the peripheral retina

That defocus signal continuously reaches the eye throughout waking hours, associated with slowing the axial elongation that drives myopia.

In plain terms: a normal lens only helps your child see clearly today. MyoCare aims to also change the trajectory of their eyesight, while keeping the visual experience comfortable.

Our Clinic

How Eyecare Concepts Uses ZEISS MyoCare

We offer MyoCare as an additional glasses option, particularly for children where visual comfort is a high priority alongside effectiveness.

Step 1

Comprehensive assessment

We assess your child's progressing myopia and establish a baseline axial length measurement.

Step 2

Precision fitting

We fit each lens for optimal alignment and confirm frame suitability for the full lenslet zone.

Step 3

Ongoing monitoring

We review progress at regular intervals, tracking axial length and prescription change.

ZEISS MyoCare may be a great fit if your child:

  • Has diagnosed progressing myopia
  • Is sensitive to night-time visual glare
  • Prefers glasses to contacts or OrthoK
  • Wants a well-evidenced, comfort-focused lens

Common Questions

ZEISS MyoCare: FAQs

What is ZEISS MyoCare?
ZEISS MyoCare is a myopia control spectacle lens from ZEISS, one of the world's leading optical technology companies, using a cylindrical lenslet design to create continuous myopic defocus while aiming to preserve a wide field of clear vision.
How does ZEISS MyoCare work?
The lens combines a central optical zone for clear distance vision with a surrounding pattern of cylindrical lenslet elements. These create a myopic defocus signal in front of the retina, associated with slowing the eye's tendency to keep elongating, while ZEISS's design aims to minimise visual disturbances such as haloes around lights.
How effective is ZEISS MyoCare at slowing myopia progression?
ZEISS's published research on MyoCare's cylindrical lenslet technology shows a meaningful reduction in myopia progression and axial elongation compared with single-vision lenses, in the same general range as other leading myopia control spectacle lenses.
How does MyoCare differ from MiyoSMART or Stellest?
All three use a peripheral defocus principle but with different lens geometry: MyoCare uses cylindrical lenslets, MiyoSMART uses segmented D.I.M.S. optics, and Stellest uses concentric aspherical rings. Results across all three sit in a broadly similar top evidence tier, and the right choice often comes down to visual comfort, frame fit and personal preference.
Does ZEISS MyoCare cause visual disturbances like haloes?
ZEISS designed MyoCare's cylindrical lenslet pattern with visual comfort specifically in mind, aiming to reduce haloes and glare around lights at night compared with earlier lenslet designs. Individual experience can still vary, and we discuss this at fitting.
Do MyoCare lenses look different to normal glasses?
No, from typical viewing distance they look like standard prescription lenses. The lenslet pattern is subtle and only visible on close inspection of the lens surface.
Does my child need to wear MyoCare glasses all the time?
Consistent full-time wear during waking hours gives the best result, since the myopia control effect relies on the eye continuously receiving the defocus signal.
Can MyoCare be fitted into any frame?
Most standard frames work well, provided there's enough usable lens area for the full lenslet zone. We check frame suitability at your appointment.
Is MyoCare available across a wide prescription range?
ZEISS MyoCare is available across a broad prescription range, we confirm exact availability for your child's prescription at consultation.
How does MyoCare compare with contact lenses or OrthoK?
It sits alongside MiyoSMART and Stellest as a top-tier evidenced glasses option, comparable to OrthoK and MiSight contact lenses, with the simplicity of everyday glasses and no lens handling required. Our Myopia Control Treatments page compares all five of our treatment options.
