France Makes History: First EU Country to Reimburse MiYOSMART Lenses for Kids' Eyeglasses

A Landmark Policy for Children's Eye Health

In a groundbreaking public health decision, France has become the first EU country to include MiYOSMART lenses for kids prescription glasses in its national health insurance coverage. This policy, based on an in-depth evaluation by the French Health Authority (HAS), targets children aged 5–16 with high myopia (-6.00D or worse) or rapidly progressing myopia (≥0.50D per year). Over 500,000 children are expected to benefit from this initiative starting July

50. Why This Matters: Tackling the Global Myopia Crisis

Myopia is now the leading cause of vision impairment worldwide, with half the global population projected to be nearsighted by 2050. France’s move aligns with the WHO’s 2030 goal to improve refractive error coverage by 40%, emphasizing early intervention.

50. MiYOSMART’s Breakthrough Technology

--Uses D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) technology

--Clinically proven to slow myopia progression by 60% vs. standard lenses

--Supported by 8 years of safety and efficacy data

50. How It Works for Families

--Supplemental insurance ensures broader accessibility

--A game-changer for affordable myopia management
