How Rodenstock MyCon lenses help control near-sightedness

The Rodenstock Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality lenses, has introduced the Rodenstock MyCon spectacle lenses designed to help control myopia or near-sightedness.

Rodenstock MyCon lenses are meant to guarantee sharp vision and prevent myopia’s progression among children aged six to 14.

An independent, clinical long-term study examining myopia progression in children aged seven to 14 years over five years has shown that Rodenstock MyCon can slow down the progression of near-sightedness by up to 40%.

Myopia is the result of a slightly elongated eye. Regular single vision lenses are not designed to slow myopia progression. While regular vision lenses can slightly improve vision nonetheless eye elongation is not addressed therefore myopia is not stopped or controlled.

Myopia is also hereditary. It often happens if one of the parents has it, increasing a child’s risk of developing the same condition. If both parents happen to have myopia, the probability even increases to 35-60%. Myopia progresses faster if both the child’s parents are myopic.

Childhood myopia also increases the risk of a more severe eye disease in adulthood. Controlling childhood myopia at an early stage helps ensure healthier eyes in the long run.

It also significantly reduces the risk of developing more severe eye diseases in adulthood.

Wearing MyCon spectacle lenses is the simplest form of treatment to counteract the progression of myopia.

In contrast to normal single vision lenses, the light is scattered through progression control areas that are placed at the side of the lens so that at the periphery, the light is refracted to hit in front of the retina.

Rodenstock MyCon lenses slow eye elongation and myopia progression. The focus area of the new Rodenstock Rodenstock MyCon lenses ensures that a child can see sharply whenever they focus their eyes.

The thin and light lens design of the Rodenstock MyCon spectacle lenses is a decisive advantage. Even with high prescription, the lenses do not stand out or appear thick.

Rodenstock MyCon spectacle lenses’ proprietary and innovative Finish X-tra Clean is a top layer on the front and back of the spectacle lens creating an extremely smooth surface by which dirt can barely adhere and can be easily be cleaned off without leaving streaks or residues.
