EssilorLuxottica leads five-year myopia project

EssilorLuxottica has partnered with several French organisations to launch a five-year research and innovation project focused of personalising myopia care through med-tech.  

The Premyom project brought together expertise to improve understanding of the clinical and biological mechanisms behind myopia progression. 

Thierry Villette, project director of Premyom at EssilorLuxottica, said: ‘Focused on myopia among children, one of the most urgent challenges in ophthalmology, Premyom will make the difference. From simple vision correction to the personalised optical therapy and journey, from empirical understanding to digital modelling, and from third-party data to the largest myopia cohort in the Western world – these elements define Premyom's ambition and commitment.’
