Myopia Control Technology
PolyU’s School of Optometry (SO) is committed to nurturing professional optometrists and conducting cutting-edge research to safeguard our eye health. One major focus of SO is myopia, a prevalent vision condition affecting an alarming proportion of people globally, especially in Asia. Apart from blurry vision, moderate to high myopia is associated with an increased risk of serious eye diseases. Aiming to mitigate the epidemic, our experts have developed “myopia defocus”, a revolutionary method for controlling the condition in children based on a natural mechanism of the eye where the eyeball size is regulated by optical inputs.
