Why myopia can't wait
In most children, myopia involves front-to-back elongation of the eye and blurred distance vision. Earlier-onset myopia can progress throughout the growing years.
- High myopia (≤ −6 D) is associated with increased risks of retinal detachment and glaucoma.
- Every child's course is different; regular measurements make rapid progression visible.
- Myopia that starts at an early age progresses for longer and faster.
- Treatment effect varies by modality, dose, age, population and follow-up duration.
Built for clinicians
Each exam is compared with earlier records; the calculations support clinical assessment rather than replace it.

Refraction & biometry tracking
Record refraction (SPH, CYL and axis) and axial length; the progression rate updates with each new measurement.
Population-based estimates
A model-based refraction range at ages 18 and 21 and a progression summary from comparable measurements—not an individual probability or certain personal outcome.
Treatment comparison
Compare the efficacy of atropine, orthokeratology, MiSight and DIMS side by side on the prognosis chart.
Controlled access to health data
Records are encrypted in transit and processed under KVKK; access is limited to the authorized clinician and the relevant patient or parent.
A myopia control program in four steps
Create an account
Register for free as a clinician or patient/parent and create the first measurement record.
Enter measurements
Record prescription, astigmatism axis and axial length values at each exam.
Review the measured course
A SER slope is calculated from comparable cycloplegic measurements; the age-reference line is shown only as an exploratory scenario.
Track treatment
Compare the effects of atropine, Ortho-K, MiSight and DIMS on a chart and follow the course.
Factors associated with myopia
Parental myopia
Having one or two parents with myopia is associated with a higher likelihood of childhood myopia; the size of the association varies across populations.
Screens & near work
Prolonged near work is associated with myopia; screen time alone should not be interpreted as a single cause.
Insufficient outdoor time
More outdoor time is associated especially with lower myopia-onset risk; evidence for slowing progression in existing myopia is less certain.
Early onset age
The earlier myopia begins, the longer the growing period during which it may progress; measurements are needed to assess the individual course.
Clinician and parent, on the same chart
The clinician interprets measurements alongside clinical findings; the parent follows the same course through clear charts. Reports are shared with a single link.

Frequently asked
What is MiyoLab?
MiyoLab is a clinical management platform for tracking childhood myopia through regular, comparable measurements. It gives clinicians SER/axial-length course views and sourced treatment evidence.
How is myopia tracked in children?
The child's prescription (refraction) and the eye's front-to-back length (axial length) are recorded at regular intervals. The system shows the change and progression rate; the clinician interprets these outputs together with the examination and the child's history.
Is MiyoLab free?
Yes, creating an account and using the tracking features is free. You can register as a clinician or a patient/parent; no installation required, it runs in your browser.
How does the MiyoLab estimate work?
The model combines published age-specific progression rates with the child's measurements and recorded context variables. It produces a model-based range at ages 18 and 21; it does not produce an individual probability, a certain personal future, or a diagnosis.
Which treatments can I compare?
You can compare scenarios derived from published study results for low-dose atropine, orthokeratology (Ortho-K), MiSight contact lenses and DIMS spectacle lenses. The comparison is not a prescription; the clinician determines the appropriate option.
Is my data safe?
Data is transmitted over an encrypted connection and processed under KVKK notice, consent and access rules. Access to patient records is limited to the authorized clinician and the relevant patient or parent. The privacy and disclosure notices provide details.
