Hoya Lens Singapore has launched MiYoSmart iQ, the latest evolution of its MiYoSmart platform that features defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) technology. The spectacles combine DIMS technology with the new Triple Enhanced Design (TED), which feature 3 enhancements:

• Defocus segments are positioned closer to the geometric center of the spectacle lens and are intended to continuously activate a “sweet spot” on the near-peripheral retina—referred to by Hoya as the Smart Zone

• Higher defocus power delivers a stronger myopic defocus signal.

• An extended treatment zone that provides more extensive coverage of the child’s peripheral visual field, even with larger frames.

MiYoSmart iQ is available in 4 options: clear, clear with Hoya Full Control Coating, chameleon photochromic, and chameleon Photochromic with Hoya Full Control Coating.  

The Chameleon Photochromic options adapt to changing light conditions, darkening in sunlight to help reduce glare and fading back to clear indoors. According to the company, this supports visual comfort as children move between classroom learning and outdoor activities, while providing protection against UV rays.

For added protection, Hoya Full Control Coating combines anti-reflective and scratch-resistant properties with blue light reduction, UV protection, and an antibacterial treatment that helps limit bacterial growth on lens surfaces. Its water-, dirt-, and dust-repellent properties also make the lenses easier to maintain during everyday wear.
