Eyecare providers now have an exciting new tool for the treatment of juvenile-onset myopia with the launch of MyoPro® spectacle lenses in Canada by Toronto-based Plastic Plus Ltd., Canada’s largest independent optical lab.
MyoPro® is an innovative spectacle lens design that features 540 seamlessly integrated hexagonal lenslets embedded into the front surface of the lens combined with a smaller central zone. This technology creates a stronger defocus signal stimulation in front of the retina to better control axial elongation and effectively slow myopia progression. MyoPro® lenses were subjected to a rigorous double-blind, randomized clinical trial at Wenzhou Medical University in China that demonstrated excellent efficacy in myopia control and visual performance. The adjusted one-year results showed that children wearing MyoPro® lenses, on average, experienced a 0.38D (57%) reduction in myopia progression and a -0.18mm (50%) reduction in axial elongation compared to the single-vision control.
“We are thrilled about the launch of East Optical MyoPro® spectacle lenses in Canada. In randomized clinical trials, MyoPro® lenses have demonstrated excellent efficacy, wearability, and performance in myopia management,” said Olive Su, general manager at East Optical.
“We are pleased to offer this state-of-the-art lens technology in Canada. Myopia is one of the leading vision health concerns among children in Canada, and we are committed to helping eyecare providers find effective solutions and treatment options,” added Plastic Plus president Jason Faibish. “It is also a pleasure to collaborate with the team at East Optical to bring this innovative myopia control option to Canada.”
