§01Problem

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.

Refraction & biometry tracking

Record refraction (SPH, CYL and axis) and axial length; the progression rate updates with each new measurement.

Track measurements

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.

Review the estimate

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

01

Create an account

Register for free as a clinician or patient/parent and create the first measurement record.

02

Enter measurements

Record prescription, astigmatism axis and axial length values at each exam.

03

Review the measured course

A SER slope is calculated from comparable cycloplegic measurements; the age-reference line is shown only as an exploratory scenario.

04

Track treatment

Compare the effects of atropine, Ortho-K, MiSight and DIMS on a chart and follow the course.


§04Risk factors

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.

1–2parents with myopia

Screens & near work

Prolonged near work is associated with myopia; screen time alone should not be interpreted as a single cause.

Longnear-work duration

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.

§05Who it's for

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.

If you're a clinician

  • Record measurements in seconds during the exam
  • Track progression rate from comparable measurements
  • Share the report with the parent via a single link

If you're a parent

  • See your child's measurements and progression chart
  • Access the report and treatment plan your clinician shares
  • Keep up with appointments and check-ups

§06FAQ

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.
