Cases of myopia in children
are on the increase.
The number of people with myopia is increasing year by year, and it is estimated that almost half of the world population will suffer from myopia in 2050.
In some regions, the increase of myopia in children is notable and has become a social problem.
The population suffering from myopia under the age of 40 around the world is expected to nearly double the number of myopic people in 2000 by 2050.
It is reported that besides study and reading, long-time use of smartphones, tablets, seriously affects the growth of children’s eyes.
*Myopia: The state where the length of the eyeball grows too long longitudinally and light entering the eye focuses in front of, not on, the retina.
TOKAI’s original honeycomb structure keeps things looking naturally, and realizes wearing comfort.
With the aid of its special lens shape that can control the traveling direction of light,
MYOGEN supports the sound growth of the eyes.
Incoming light through an ordinary lens focuses behind the eyeball, and this is a cause of the elongation of the eye axis.
MYOGEN is expected to suppress the elongation of the eye axis by controlling the traveling direction of light with the aid of its special lens surface shape.
*This figure shows a visual image of the action of MYOGEN for easy understanding, and does not intend to guarantee the effect.
In a clinical test conducted at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University,
MYOGEN and a single vision lens were compared by actually wearing them, and it was confirmed that
MYOGEN suppressed the progress of myopia and the elongation of the eye axis.
