Abbey Eye Care is proud to offer Zeiss MyoCare lenses which is a state-of-the-art solution desinged to slow down myopia progress and help protect the future of your child’s vision.
The Science Behind Zeiss MyoCare Lenses
ZEISS MyoCare lenses use specially designed optical profiles that correct vision and at the same time signal the eye to reduce the stimulus for growing longer — a key cause of myopia progression. Developed from the latest myopia research and clinical insights, MyoCare lenses are made specifically for children and teens.
- A central zone large enough to provide sharp crisp distance vision when your child looks straight through the lens.
- Special concentric C.A.R.E elements are incorporated around the central zone extending all the way to the edge of the lens – this is the management zone of the lens and it is much larger than other myopia management lenses available today.
Who are MyoCare Lenses for?
Zeiss MyoCare lenses are best suidted for children between 6 and 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with myopia and are expreriencing a progression in their prescription. If you child is squinting, complains of blurry vision in the distance, or sits very close to screens or book, it’s time for an eye exam.
What do the Clinical Trials Tell Us?
Zeiss MyoCare lenses slowed down the growth of the eye significantly in children of varying ages. More specifically:
- 86% slowing of eye growth in children aged 10 – 12 years
- 63% slowing of eye growth in children aged 7-9 years

Myopia Management Services, What Sets Us Apart
The doctors and staff at Abbey Eye Care are highly trained in the latest research surrounding myopia management and have created a dedicated myopia management clinic within our practice. We have also invested heavily in technology to help us determine which option(s) are best for your child and to help us measure and track to see if the therapy is working. We are one of a few Optometry clinics in Ontario to have Nidek AL Scan that allows us to measure the length of your child’s eye which is the gold standard in tracking myopia progression. In addition to that, Drs. Jeff & Tina Goodhew have lectured across North America, teaching their colleagues about the importance of myopia management for their pediatric patients.
