Hoya Protects Against Myopia with Miyosmart

According to the World Health Organization’s 2020 estimates, about 30% of the world’s population is myopic, and by 2050 this figure will reach 50%. This means that half of the global population, or an estimated 5 billion people, could be affected by myopia by 2050. Myopia is a global concern. Children under 10 years of age are at risk and the annual rate of myopia progression is highest in children under 10 years of age. A child with one myopic parent is about 3 times more likely to become myopic, and a child with both myopic parents is about 6 times more likely to become myopic. Hoya introduced Miyosmart, which slows the rate of myopia progression in children by 60%, to the Turkish market in June 2023. The Miyosmart lens is based on the revolutionary Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.). This technology was developed in 2014 in collaboration with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. With non-invasive D.I.M.S. technology, Miyosmart corrects visual impairment over its entire surface to slow the rate of myopia progression. For the children who are the guarantee of our future, Hoya is calling on all parents to fight against myopia in children by introducing Miyosmart, the smart way to fight myopia, to the Turkish market.

Hoya Bluecontrol Protects from Blue Light

Prolonged exposure to blue light causes side effects such as headaches, blurred vision and tired eyes. Hoya BlueControl, developed to protect against the negative effects of blue light, which can cause serious harm to people of all ages who spend long hours in front of digital devices, allows the use of digital devices to be safe. The Hoya BlueControl coating, which minimizes the symptoms associated with the recent increase in the use of digital devices, protects the eyes from the harmful blue light emitted from these screens if too much time is spent in front of digital devices. This harmful blue light reaches the back of the eye, especially if it is perpendicular to the eye, and causes deformation of the retina. This can lead to blindness and yellow spot disease in case of prolonged exposure. Recommended for people who are heavily exposed to digital devices today, Hoya BlueControl reduces harmful blue light and minimizes glare from digital screens. It offers more comfortable vision and prevents eye fatigue.
