Following an in-depth review by the French Health Authority (HAS), France will become the first country in the European Union to offer reimbursement for Hoya Vision Care’s MiyoSmart myopia control spectacle lenses.

From July 1, children in France aged 5 to 16 who have high (–6.00 D) and/or rapidly progressive (–0.50 D/year) myopia will be eligible to receive MiyoSmart myopia control spectacle lenses through a reimbursement basis. Hoya Vision Care has secured specific reimbursement for MiyoSmart myopia control spectacle lenses through inclusion in the List of Products and Services (LPP) code. This public coverage will be further supported by complementary health insurance, depending on the parents’ responsible contract to ensure access for as many priority children as possible
