At Smart Mirror AI/Acep, we recognize that childhood myopia is a critical challenge for the visual health of younger generations. In the United States, 36.1% of children aged 5 to 17 are myopic. Urban areas show a prevalence of 41%, while rural areas have a much lower prevalence of 15.7%. Over the past three decades, the overall prevalence of myopia in the U.S. has nearly doubled, now reaching 41% of the population. These figures highlight the urgent need to curb the progression of this condition to reduce long-term complications, such as retinal detachment or glaucoma.


Innovative Lenses: A Significant Advancement


In response to this situation, several innovative solutions have emerged. Among them, myopia control lenses stand out for their ability to influence peripheral vision and limit the elongation of the eyeball.


Digital Technologies for Precise Lens Centering


Technological advances are not limited to the lenses themselves. At Smart Mirror AI/Acep, we do not manufacture lenses; instead, we empower eye care professionals with our Smart Mirror AI solution, which revolutionizes digital measurement and enables precise, personalized lens centering. This fast, two-step process ensures optimal positioning an essential factor for maximizing the effectiveness of myopia control lenses. It is important to note that this measurement process is solely intended to ensure perfect centering and does not serve as a tool for monitoring myopia progression.


Our Commitment

By combining innovative optical solutions from leading manufacturers with advanced digital technologies, the optical sector now offers a comprehensive, non-invasive approach to combating childhood myopia. At Acep, we are committed to raising awareness and supporting vision professionals by providing state-of-the-art measurement tools that help maximize the benefits of these innovations, contributing to the sustainable preservation of children’s visual health.
