Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segment (DIMS) Lens
Developed in collaboration with HOYA Vision Care, the Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) spectacle lens comprises a central correcting optical zone, and multiple segments of constant myopic defocus extending to the mid-periphery of the lens. Like the DISC lens, it is based on the natural homeostatic mechanism of emmetropisation.
Our randomised clinical trials has shown that the DIMS spectacle lens can slow myopic progression while ensuring clear vision at any viewing distance.
DIMS lenses offer a solution as the first line of treatment for myopia control, slowing and even preventing the development of high myopia, which is the second most common eye condition that causes visual impairment and permanent blindness in Asia. Since their launch in mid-2018, DIMS lenses have gained wide acceptance in the market, benefitting more than 350,000 myopic children. DIMS lenses are now available in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Italy, the UK and France.
