What is MiYOSMART and how does it work?
MiYOSMART is an innovative spectacle lens that helps slow the progression of myopia in children. With the patented and award-winning Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) Technology, the lens corrects the visual defect on its entire surface and has a ring-shaped treatment area that has been proven to slow myopia progression by an average of 60%. The treatment area creates focus and defocus in a 50:50 ratio which provides clear vision and manages myopia simultaneously.

Does HOYA Vision Care offer driving lenses?
Yes, we do. We offer HOYA EnRoute in two designs: EnRoute Standard and EnRoute Pro.
Some key features of EnRoute and EnRoute Pro:
- Both designs have a special AR coating with low rest reflection, meaning there is very little reflection off the coating
- Both designs significantly reduce glare by absorbing HEV light between 420-430nm due to the wavelengths emitted by the LED and Xenon headlights
- Both designs offer enhanced visibility and improved contrast and brightness
The EnRoute Pro has an additional contrast-enhancing filter in the material that offers:
- Better contrast perception in lower light conditions
- Less light scatter in foggy or rainy conditions and from LED headlights
- EnRoute Pro is especially great for those who have difficulty driving at night
