Five Lens Options
Myopia Control Glasses
Everyday spectacle lenses, worn exactly like ordinary glasses, that slow myopia progression through advanced peripheral defocus optics from three leading lens brands.
Everyday spectacle lenses, worn exactly like ordinary glasses, that slow myopia progression through advanced peripheral defocus optics from three leading lens brands.
From across the room, myopia control glasses look like any other pair of children's spectacles. Look closely at the lens itself, though, and you'll find microscopic optical segments or lenslets surrounding a clear central zone, engineering that's changed what everyday glasses can do for a progressing child.
The central zone corrects distance vision exactly as a normal lens would. The surrounding treatment zone does something entirely different: it creates a second, deliberately out-of-focus image that falls just in front of the retina, a signal that appears to slow the eye's drive to keep growing longer.
Each uses a different optical geometry to reach a similar clinical effect.
Hoya's D.I.M.S. segmented lens design, with iQ available in plus powers for prevention. Learn more →
Essilor's H.A.L. concentric lenslet design, with 2.0 available in plano for prevention. Learn more →

MiyoSMART iQ (plus powers) and Stellest 2.0 (plano) can be used before myopia even develops.
We compare prescription range, frame fit and visual comfort for your child at a myopia assessment.
All five of our glasses options share the same underlying principle, delivered through different lens engineering.
The middle of the lens works just like a standard single-vision lens, giving your child sharp, clear eyesight for reading, the whiteboard and everyday life.
Segments, rings or cylindrical lenslets across the lens periphery create continuous myopic defocus, invisible from typical viewing distance.
Consistent full-time wear delivers the defocus signal continuously, helping to reduce the axial elongation that drives myopia progression.
Five lenses across three leading manufacturers to fit different needs.
Options spanning plano and plus powers through to standard myopic corrections.
No visible rings or odd patterns, optically refined for everyday wear.
A comfortable, needle-free, contact-lens-free option many families prefer.
Two of our five options can be used before myopia even develops.
Hoya, Essilor and ZEISS each bring dedicated optical research to their lens.
We help every family compare our five glasses options and manage fitting through to ongoing monitoring.
We assess your child's progressing myopia, or preventive candidacy, and establish a baseline axial length measurement.
We compare our five lens options for your child's needs, then fit each lens for optimal alignment.
We review progress at regular intervals, tracking axial length and prescription change.
Book a comprehensive myopia assessment and we'll talk through all five glasses options and how they compare with our other treatment options for your child specifically.
Individual results and lens suitability vary. This page is general information, not medical advice, please speak with one of our optometrists about which lens is suitable for your child.
