Ai-Topia Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Machida City, Tokyo; President: Koichi Kato), which operates the optical chain 'Megane Store' mainly in the Tokyo and Kanagawa metropolitan areas, has started handling HOYA's myopia control spectacle lenses for children, 'MiYOSMART', from June 1, 2026, and Nikon-Essilor's myopia care lenses for children, 'Essilor® Stellest®', from June 11, 2026, at 24 Megane Store locations.

Towards 'Realizing the Well-being of Each Family Member'

Megane Store returns to its origins, viewing eyeglasses as medical devices that assist vision and 'comfortably support customers' minds and bodies,' and has been helping customers achieve richer lifestyles.

Amidst significant changes in the visual environment surrounding children's eyes due to the widespread use of smartphones and tablet devices, and changes in outdoor activity time, we have decided to start handling spectacle lenses with special structures for pediatric myopia, in line with our mission of 'Realizing the well-being of each family member,' hoping to contribute to the healthy growth of children and the peace of mind of their families.

Handling Stores

These lenses are available at 24 Megane Store locations where certified spectacle opticians are employed.

A prescription from an ophthalmologist is always required for purchase, so please visit an eye clinic before coming to the store.

*The number of featured stores is as of June 2026. This may change in the future.
