Myopia has grown more and more around the world and has been a pathological condition of concern. In order to combat the growth of myopic people, lens manufacturers are starting to propose the option of glasses that prevent myopia advancement in children and adolescents.
Recently, the WHO (World Health Organization) warned about a “silent epidemic” that has affected people. Estimates indicate that half of the world's population will be short-sighted by 2050, as stated by current studies.

Myopia is an alteration that occurs in the eyeball, preventing people from seeing long distances. This happens because the pathology concentrates the nervous tissues in the retina, at the back of the eye.
This growth in the younger population, among children and adolescents, is happening due to measures against the covid-19 pandemic. According to experts, the youngest were more connected to the screens while going through social distancing.
Lenses can stop the progression of myopia
Lenses capable of curbing myopia use a type of technology that can be recognized as HALT (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target, name in English) or peripheral blur (DIMS).
The two technologies serve to correct myopia and manage to find and combat the progression of this pathology. The eyeball can be corrected through the technological modifications that the glass contains.
This year, the magazine Scientific Reports published the article “Miyyosmart” talking about the lenses produced in Japan, by the manufacturer Hoya, which gained six years of study. That same article proves that the lenses are following the right path.
In addition to the Japanese manufacturer, Germany arrives on the market with Zeiss and the French EssilorLuxottica follows the same line of study, using HALT technology. These lenses are able to prevent myopia from advancing in up to 70% of cases when compared to traditional treatment lenses.
