SightGlass Vision Launches “Control the Contrast” Education Campaign for Myopia Control
Friday, April 24 2026 | 11 h 01 min | News
SightGlass Vision has launched a new global professional education campaign, “Control the Contrast,” aimed at increasing awareness among eye care professionals about contrast management in myopia control.
According to the company, the campaign centres on its DOT™ spectacle lenses, which are designed to manage contrast by scattering light before it reaches the retina. SightGlass Vision says the approach is intended to help slow myopia progression in children.
The company links the campaign to growing concern over rising rates of childhood myopia, noting that children are spending more time indoors in visually artificial environments associated with study, reading and screen-based activities.
DOT lenses are now commercially available in Canada, China, Israel, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and that more than 1.5 million children have worn the lenses to date.
As part of the initiative, eye care professionals are being directed to a dedicated campaign website that includes information on contrast levels in different environments, the science behind contrast management, and downloadable materials related to DOT lenses.
“More children are developing myopia at a younger age, making it even more crucial for eye care professionals to be aware of all the options at their disposal for early intervention,” said Andrew Sedgwick, CEO of SightGlass Vision. “By building awareness and understanding of the science behind contrast management and DOT lenses’ unique approach to controlling myopia, we hope more eye care professionals will take action.”
“What convinced me about DOT lenses was seeing the results within my own practice,” said Kylvin Ho, OD, of C U Vision Optometrists in Vancouver. “We’ve seen a high success rate, especially in our younger patients, with many showing slowed progression and stable axial length over time. The lenses are easy to fit, low risk, and families are genuinely happy with them, which makes a huge difference. I encourage more practitioners to take the time to understand the role of contrast in myopia management and see how straightforward it is to incorporate DOT lenses into their practice.”
SightGlass Vision was founded in 2016 and now operates as a joint venture of CooperVision, Inc. and Essilor International.
