MyioSmart Lenses

[IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads]

We have just ordered DD’s new glasses with MyioSmart lenses to try and slow down her increasing short sightedness (she’s only -1.25/-1.5, but has moved half a dioptre in each eye in a year).

I hate being shortsighted (-6.5, -5) and am happy to pay for these and hope DD’s short sight stays low, but I’m curious to know if anyone has ant experience of their DC having success with these?

My daughter has been using the contact lens version for six months and her prescription hasn’t changed in that time whereas before her sight had been deteriorating every six months. So seems to be working far.

That is good to hear @outnumbered77

Mine is using since a year it hasnt' changed, but you need to have them in everyday for a long time for them to work I was told. Only wear glasses in emergency, like lenses lost, eye hurting or smt

Not Myiosmart but Stellest. My eldest has the contact lenses and has had them for perhaps 16 months and their prescription hasn't changed.
My youngest has the glasses. Their prescription is consistently changing (getting worse) and has scratched two sets of glasses (badly) in four months. A friend with a teenage child also managed to scratch theirs within two weeks. As a result we won't be continuing with the glasses. I would be willing for them to try the contact lenses when they want to /are capable of mastering them/responsible enough.

My 10 year old has the stellest lenses after her sight dropped from 1.75 to 3.50 in 6 months. Since getting them her eyes have only changed by .25 in one eye and that was recently, she has had them for 2 years so a huge success here.

@Anakan dd has the boots version and we were told six days a week for 12 hours a day, so one rest day per week.

My DC has the lenses. He hasn’t been retested since he started wearing them, but the optician told us she’d had really impressive results with them so I’m very hopeful.
it is a commitment, though. They have to wear them every day for at least 10hrs or the benefit is lost.

DD wears her glasses all day anyway.

My DS had these throughout secondary school, and they were excellent at slowing down the rate of deterioration. He’s 18 now so no longer needs them but the optician was delighted with the results. He wears his glasses constantly.

The optician also said an hour’s daylight (minimum) a day would also be beneficial. DS didn’t bother with this aspect, but doesn’t seem to have been a problem.

Ours advised 2 hours daylight! Maybe with the hope if getting 1 hour!

DD's prescription has deteriorated but much slower than before; because she'd dropped more than a certain amount her most recent pair of MiyoSmart glasses were free.

My son started wearing Stellest in October 2023 fo -2.25, we bought it from boots with 1-year insurance. He's wearing them all day long and his prescription haven't changed in 1.5 years (we are overdue for autumn check).
He scratched them badly in the first year when he was 7, got them replaced for free on insurance, second pair got first serious scratches only after 10 months.

DD had the glasses and now has the contact lenses.

Prescription stayed stable with the glasses but has droppd a bit with the lenses. But that may be due to puberty and growing rather than a reflection on the product.
