HOYA Vision Care Launches MiYOSMART Sunbird Polarized Lenses to Treat Myopia Among Children

HOYA Vision Care announced the launch of MiYOSMART® Sunbird, available to Canadian eye care providers. MiYOSMART Sunbird polarized lenses are the ideal addition to MiYOSMART clear lenses, offering young wearers extra protection from intense sunlight and glare. HOYA’s Sunbird lenses are especially beneficial if a child patient has light-sensitive eyes caused by using atropine eyedrops to treat their myopia.

Additionally, the contrast and colours seen through MiYOSMART Sunbird remain vibrant. Features of the MiYOSMART Sunbird lens include a dark Category 3 tint in a stylish grey colour. Benefits include greater comfort from glare and sunlight, decreased symptoms of light sensitivity, improved contrast sensitivity, and vibrant colours.

“At HOYA, we understand and embrace the crucial role that our lenses play in helping children slow myopia’s progression while not comprising what makes childhood fun – notably, the freedom to experience the world around them without impediment,” said Frederiek Ysebaert, Managing Director of the Pediatric Care Business Unit at HOYA Vision Care. “We equally realize the vital role that every Canadian eye care provider plays in the ongoing treatment of myopia among their child patients. With Sunbird and our other MiYOSMART options, we can combine the best of both worlds – treating myopia and keeping outdoor time a healthy priority.”

Since 2018, two million patients in over 30 countries have benefited from wearing MiYOSMART spectacle lenses.
