ZEISS MyoKids Lenses

The new myopia management lens specially designed for children.

The new and innovative freeform design of MyoKids ^® by ZEISS is customized for growing eyes and applies the principles of Accommodative Lag Management: the new design provides optimum control of the accommodative lag during near vision tasks ¹ while providing clear and comfortable vision at all distances. ² The reduction of accommodative lag is known to result in a potential reduction of myopia progression. ³

Progressive addition lenses have been developed and successfully tested for myopia management in the last 20 years based on the assumption that alleviating children's intense near vision tasks can be beneficial for managing myopia progression. ⁴ ZEISS MyoKids lenses are new and innovative progressive addition lenses specially designed for children's needs.

ZEISS MyoKids Lenses Design

ZEISS MyoKids Design

With standard single vision lenses

Lag of accommodation during near vision tasks

With ZEISS MyoKids Lenses:

Accommodative Lag Management

Feature

The new design can reduce the lag of accommodation up to 30 % better than traditional progressive lenses¹ (known to potentially result in a reduction of myopia progression).

The high negative gradient of refracting power surrounding the near zone provides children with a better stimulus that leads to a lower lag of accommodation and facilitates a natural posture during near vision tasks¹.

Different addition powers are available for fine-tuning near vision support and binocular vision.

Benefit

The most innovative myopia management progressive addition design on the market, resulting in greater reduction of accommodative lag, depending on the object distance¹.

ZEISS Digital Inside Technology

Feature

Most children between the ages of 6 and 12 use digital devices on a daily basis.⁹
With Digital Inside Technology, the lens is optimized for children’s modern lifestyle

Benefit

Provides ergonomic support for near vision tasks
Supports the digital lives of today’s children

ZEISS AgeFit Junior Technology

Z´ = eye`s centre of rotation; b´= vertex-centre of rotation; BVD = corneal back vertex distance; COR = cornea-centre of rotation distance

Feature

The freeform optical design is optimized for myopic children
Ensures the optics are optimized for the up-to-date standard position of wear and frame data for children 6-12 years old. All of the age-specific parameters in the lens design (e.g. the standard fitting parameters for children like PD, BVD, pantoscopic and wrap angle, and the cornea to centre of eye rotation distance) are taken into account to optimize the optical performance for growing children’s eyes

Benefit

Specially designed for children, giving full consideration to their anatomical needs

Extra protection for your young patients’ lifestyles.

ZEISS Lenses with UVProtect Technology

Children are supposed to play outside and exercise on a regular basis. UV protection is therefore essential to protect their eyes against harmful UV radiation. ZEISS UVProtect Technology includes full UV protection in clear lenses.

Children are very active and dynamic while running, playing and moving quickly between indoors and outdoors. Being able to switch easily for greater light protection is therefore important. For a dynamic lifestyle, we recommend ZEISS PhotoFusion, one of the fastest self-tinting lenses on the market.
