Evidence-based myopia management combines optical intervention with lifestyle guidance. As the primary eye care professional in the family's life, the optician is positioned to deliver both.

TOKAI recommends the following habits as supportive of healthy visual development:
🧘 Correct posture and appropriate brightness: during study or reading, maintain at least 30 cm distance from the book and ensure the environment is well lit.
🌳 Time outdoors: at least two hours per day of outdoor activity and exposure to sunlight.
👁️ Regular eye rest: when engaged in sustained near-vision tasks, look into the distance for at least a moment every 20 minutes.
🥕 Well-balanced nutrition: a varied diet to support healthy eye development.

The myopia management conversation does not end with the lens recommendation. MYOGEN handles the optical intervention. These habits support the rest.

Half the world. That's the projection for myopia by 2050. 🌍

MYOGEN gives you a meaningful way to have that conversation. A TOKAI children's lens engineered to help manage how myopia develops, not just correct it. Backed by clinical testing and built to the made-in-Japan standard TOKAI is known for.

Practices that offer MYOGEN are meeting a standard of paediatric care that is growing in clinical relevance every year.

With the myopic population projected to reach nearly 4.76 billion by 2050, and the rate of increase sharpest in younger age groups, myopia management is no longer a niche clinical offering. It is becoming a standard expectation in paediatric eye care.

Optical practices that offer MYOGEN are positioned to meet that expectation with a product-backed, clinically validated response.

Myopia management is most effective when it begins before progression becomes established. Children's eyes are still developing, which means the stimulus for axial elongation is active during precisely the years when intervention can make the greatest difference.

Clinical data from the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University compared eye axis elongation in 10-year-old children over 6 and 12 months. The findings confirmed that MYOGEN suppressed the progression of myopia and the elongation of the eye axis compared to a conventional single vision lens.

For optical practices, this means the timing of the recommendation matters as much as the recommendation itself. A child presenting with early, progressing myopia is the patient for whom MYOGEN is most relevant and where the clinical impact is most meaningful. 🤓

💬 "My child's prescription keeps getting worse."

This is the conversation MYOGEN was built for. It is one of the most common concerns parents bring to an optical consultation and one that a standard prescription update does not fully address.

The explanation is straightforward: with a conventional lens, light focuses behind the eyeball. This can contribute to the elongation of the eye axis, the structural change that causes myopia to progress.

MYOGEN's special lens surface shape controls the travelling direction of light to focus in front of the retina, working to suppress that elongation during the years when the eye is still developing.

This is not a complex clinical lecture. It is a clear, honest answer to a concern parents already have. And it is backed by a clinical test conducted at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University, which confirmed that MYOGEN suppressed both myopia progression and eye axis elongation compared to a single vision lens.

TOKAI TV is back! There was a lot of demand for new TOKAI TV episodes, so here we are! We're returning with a topic that matters more than ever: Myogen, our myopia management lens for children. 👧🧒

In this episode, Dr. Ivanna Pristash, eye doctor, is joined by Nathalie Vanmontfort, Global Marketing Director EMEA, for a conversation on one of the most pressing challenges in optical practice today: the rising prevalence of childhood myopia.

Together, they explore the science behind Myogen. How its specially designed lens surface controls the direction of light to help suppress axial elongation, as well as the practical considerations that matter most to eye care professionals: patient selection, all-day wearing comfort, and how to approach the myopia management conversation with parents.

For opticians and optometrists looking to deepen their understanding of myopia management, this discussion offers both the clinical rationale and the practical perspective to support your daily practice. 🤓

24/09/2026

Which children in your practice are candidates for MYOGEN? 👦 👧

MYOGEN was developed for children whose eye development is being impacted by the conditions that drive myopia progression: prolonged screen use, sustained near-vision academic demands, and reduced outdoor exposure.

The clinical profile for a MYOGEN recommendation includes:
🔹 A child with a confirmed and progressing myopic prescription
🔹 A child in the age range where axial elongation is most active
🔹 A patient whose lifestyle includes significant screen time or extended near-vision tasks
🔹 A family that has expressed concern about worsening vision year on year

For these patients, a conventional single vision correction addresses clarity, but not the underlying progression. MYOGEN addresses both. The consultation starts with identifying who needs more than a corrective lens.

Children with progressive myopia often present with prescriptions that, in standard lens materials, result in thicker, heavier lenses. This is a known barrier to consistent wear, and consistent wear is the foundation of effective myopia management.

MYOGEN is available in high-index lens materials, including 1.60 and 1.70 index, ensuring that even higher prescriptions result in a lens that is thin, lightweight, and comfortable to wear throughout the day.

For optical practices, this matters at the consultation: the myopia management recommendation should never have to compete with aesthetics or comfort.

17/09/2026

Myopia management should not come at the cost of visual quality. With MYOGEN, it does not. MYOGEN features an aspheric lens design, a design characterised by reduced distortion that realises clear vision even in the four corners of the lens.

For children wearing myopia management lenses throughout a full day of school, sport, and near-vision tasks, optical clarity across the entire lens surface is not a secondary consideration. It is essential to consistent wear.

A child who experiences visual distortion at the periphery of their lens will adapt, by tilting their head, removing their glasses, or simply not wearing them. None of these outcomes supports myopia management.

The aspheric design of MYOGEN ensures that wearing comfort and optical quality are built into the lens from the ground up, alongside the honeycomb structure that delivers the clinical myopia control function.
