HOYA VISION CARE
MiYOSMART
Hoya Vision Care has launched the MiYOSMART sun range of spectacle lenses, the photochromic MiYOSMART Chameleon and the polarized MiYOSMART Sunbird.
According to Hoya, the MiYOSMART sun range is designed to slow myopia progression in children while providing protection from intense sunlight, utilizing Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) technology, which launched in 2018 with the MiYOSMART clear spectacle lens.
D.I.M.S. technology works by enabling the lens to correct the visual defect on its entire surface with a ring-shaped treatment area to slow down myopia progression, according to the company. As a result, Hoya shares, the alternation of the focus area and defocus area provides clear vision while simultaneously managing myopia and offering 100% protection from UV-A and UV-B rays.
The MiYOSMART sun range is currently available in 30 other countries but has not yet been FDA-approved for myopia management in the U.S. hoyavision.com
PERCEPT CORPORATION
MiWear
Percept Corporation has released the first product from its upgradeable technology platform, MiWear, a device for color wavelength mitigation based on the company’s patented Augmented Perception technology.
According to Percept, the science behind narrow green-band wavelength (nbGL)—pioneered by Harvard migraine and neurology researcher Rami Burstein, Ph.D.—has been shown to promote calming, relaxation, and other therapeutic benefits. MiWear works by regulating the full-color spectrum present in naturally occurring light to allow only nbGL while simultaneously providing a lens transmissivity high enough to enable the wearer to read fine print and operate digital devices, shares the company.
MiWear is currently available only through Percept’s select partnership of ECPs. perceptcorp.com
