MioSmart for myopia control

My son had an eye check up recently at a local optician.The lady recommended using Hoya miosmart lenses fitted in Spectacles for him as he is 13 and his prescription may worsen, it is -6.25 currently.We all were glasses for short sightedness at all times.
MioSmart , I am told, is quite a new thing here in UK.We have been asking Moorfields consultant every time about myopia control but were told as he grows up his eyes will change till a point of time and the prescription will stabilise somewhere close to us. I were -7 glasses, my DH -5.50, DD -6.
I wish I had gone to a local optician earlier.Is it too late for myDS to have any form of Myopia control?
I have been trying to get some inputs about HOYA MioSmart from users/parents but there is not much on internet in terms of reviews.All I have is a leaflet given by the optician plus a few short video clips on YouTube.
Can anyone share their child's experience using HOYA MioSmart or any other form of Myopia control?I will really appreciate any information shared as I am feeling very very worried about DS's eyes.His school gives all the homework on laptop and although he takes frequent breaks, I am afraid he has to spend too much time in front of the screen...I am really worried.

Looking at his parents prescription and age unlikely to progress more anyway. I'd avoid
