In 2000, approximately 1.4 billion people worldwide were myopic. By 2050, that figure is projected to reach 4.76 billion, almost half the global population. The population suffering from myopia under the age of 40 is expected to nearly double within that same period.
Among the key drivers: prolonged use of smartphones and tablets, and the sustained near-vision demands of academic study. These are the children presenting in optical practices today.
For opticians, this is not a future concern. It is the consultation happening right now. MYOGEN is TOKAI's response, a lens engineered specifically for the sound growth of children's eyes.
This is the lens that gives your practice something meaningful to offer.
