Eye Care Blog
An optometrist's overview of SightGlass DOT contrast-management lenses for childhood myopia control: how they work, the clinical evidence, where they're available, and how they compare to MiyoSmart iQ and Stellest 2.0.
Essilor's Stellest 2.0 and Hoya's MiYOSMART iQ are the next generation of myopia control spectacle lenses. What's actually changed, and what the results show.
A 2021 study found smaller back optic zone diameters (BOZD) in orthokeratology lenses produced 76% less axial length growth. What this means for your child.
