Why do we want to slow myopia progression?
High myopia in adults increases the risk of serious complications
Does my child's myopia always increase?
Yes, during the growth period, myopia progresses. If we don't intervene, a child who starts with -1 diopter can reach -6 or more by adulthood.
The good news: we can slow this progression!
Risks of high myopia
Myopia over -6 diopters significantly increases the risk of: early cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, myopic maculopathy.
Every diopter saved matters!
The myopia epidemic
Excessive screen time, little time outdoors, artificial light - more and more children become myopic, and their myopia progresses faster.
50% of the world's population will be myopic by 2050
Window of intervention
The critical period is between 6-16 years, when the eye grows most rapidly. The earlier we start control, the better the results.
Don't wait to "see if it stabilizes"

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Special rigid lenses worn overnight that temporarily reshape the corneal surface. In the morning, the child sees clearly all day without glasses or contact lenses.
- Total freedom during the day - no glasses, no lenses
- Ideal for sports and outdoor activities
- Fully reversible process - cornea returns to original shape
- For responsible children, from 8-10 years old
Progression slowing: 40-50%

Low-dose Atropine
Ophthalmic drops with atropine in very low concentration (0.01-0.05%), applied in the evening before bed. Proven effect in slowing myopia progression.
- Simple application, once a day, in the evening
- Minimal side effects at low doses
- Can be combined with other methods
- Prescription-based
Progression slowing: 30-50%

Multifocal contact lenses
Soft contact lenses with special design, worn during the day. They provide clear vision and simultaneously slow myopia progression.
- Comfortable wear during the day
- Alternative for those who don't tolerate Ortho-K
- For responsible teenagers
Progression slowing: 30-40%

Emmetropic lifestyle
Free and effective measures to prevent myopia progression
2 hours outdoors daily
Natural light has a protective effect. UV exposure reduces myopia risk by 50%.
20-20-20 Rule
Every 20 min of near work, look at 6m distance for 20 seconds.
Distance 30+ cm
Books, tablets and phones should be held at least 30 cm from the eyes.
Limit screen time
Reducing time spent on phone, tablet and computer outside of school.

Frequently asked questions about myopia control
Yes, during the growth period (6-18 years), myopia tends to progress. The rate of increase varies, but without intervention, a child with -1 diopter at age 8 can reach -5 or -6 at 18. The good news is that we have scientifically proven methods that can slow this progression by 40-60%.
MiYOSMART are ophthalmic lenses with D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) technology patented by HOYA. The lens has hundreds of small segments that create myopic defocus in the retinal periphery, signaling the eye to slow axial growth. Their effectiveness is proven on over 500,000 users, with myopia progression reduced by up to 60%.
Yes, orthokeratology is safe when hygiene and wearing instructions are followed. The lenses are made from materials with very high oxygen permeability. The process is completely reversible - if wearing stops, the cornea returns to its original shape. We recommend it for responsible children, from 8-10 years old, under parental supervision.
At the low doses used for myopia control (0.01-0.05%), side effects are minimal. There may be slight light sensitivity or difficulty reading up close, but these are rare and usually don't bother the child. The treatment is applied in the evening, so any effects disappear by morning.
The choice depends on several factors: child's age, degree of myopia, rate of progression, lifestyle and family preferences. During the consultation, the ophthalmologist will evaluate all these aspects and recommend the most suitable approach. Sometimes multiple methods are combined for maximum efficacy.
The earlier, the better! MiYOSMART lenses can be worn from age 6. Orthokeratology is recommended from 8-10 years old, for children who can follow hygiene rules. Atropine can be prescribed by the ophthalmologist depending on the specific situation. Lifestyle habits (outdoor time, screen breaks) apply at any age.
