Efficacy confirmed: Up to 3.5x reduced occurrence of fast myopia progression with ZEISS MyoCare.

MyoCare® lenses proved effective in slowing myopia progression in extensive clinical testing conducted on two different continents: They can reduce the occurrence of fast myopia progression by up to 3.5 times.2

Two different multicentre clinical trials in China (NCT 05288335) and Europe (NCT 05919654) demonstrated that ZEISS MyoCare lens designs can help slow myopia progression compared to ZEISS single vision lenses. The rate of progression among children wearing MyoCare® and MyoCare® S lenses was significantly reduced in the first and second years of the clinical trial.

Effective innovation – from front to back.

The ZEISS MyoCare portfolio combines a central clear zone, a treatment zone with microstructures and the specific back surface design – making it an effective solution for children.

Managing myopia with clarity. Front surface.

An effective myopia management lens must overcome certain design challenges to manage the progression of myopia while providing good vision. This is precisely why ZEISS has developed ZEISS C.A.R.E technology (Cylindrical Annular Refractive Elements). In addition, we have included the following in our ZEISS Myopia Management solutions:

  • A central zone small enough to establish an effective functional zone, projecting myopic defocus on the near periphery close to the fovea.
  • A mean addition surface power to induce the intended relative myopia defocus.
  • A carefully selected fill factor to deliver high efficacy while preserving good wearability.

Creating simultaneous competing defocus.

To achieve the optimum balance of features that enable effective myopia progression control, clear vision for day-to-day activities, and good wearability, ZEISS MyoCare lens design incorporates C.A.R.E.® technology (Cylindrical Annular Refractive Elements) delivering simultaneous competing defocus.

The central zone is a circular area around the „zero axis“ of the lens providing clear and sharp vision for straight ahead gaze.

The clear zone is surrounded by the treatment zone which expands towards the periphery of the lens. It consists of alternating defocusing elements (ZEISS C.A.R.E technology) and regular correction zones.

The relation of the distribution between these rings is called the fill factor, which is 0.5 for all ZEISS MyoCare designs. This means there is a ratio of 50:50, balancing the defocus and correction areas and providing the balance for effectivity and wearability.

ZEISS ClearFocus design

In contrast to contact lenses, spectacle lenses must account for eye movement to maintain the intended correction and myopic defocus across all gaze angles.

Conventional spherical single vision lenses perform poorly, especially when it comes to peripheral vision. They can expose myopic children to hyperopic defocus, which can cause further myopia progression.

ZEISS MyoCare lenses address this issue with the ZEISS ClearFocus design, a point-by-point freeform optimised back surface design. This design ensures optimal vision correction and intended myopic defocus for all gaze directions while minimising hyperopic defocus.

Effectively minimise the induction of hyperopic defocus.

With spherical single vision lenses, myopic children are exposed to hyperopic defocus introduced by the optical aberrations in the lens periphery. Hyperopic defocus is a known trigger for axial elongation and further myopisation. These optical aberrations would result in a reduction of the intended myopic defocus from the cylindrical annular refractive elements in the functional zone.

With ZEISS ClearFocus design, both the optimal refractive correction and the intended myopic defocus are maintained for all gaze directions. In addition, ZEISS ClearFocus design effectively minimises the induction of hyperopic defocus as opposed to typical spherical single vision lenses.
