On June 22, the launch ceremony for the “Expert Consensus on the Application of Distance Imaging Technology in Myopia Prevention and Control,” co-hosted by MetaVision, along with the new product launch of the MetaVision Large-Screen Pupilometry Vision Trainer S1, was held at the Beijing Beichen Wuzhou Crown International Hotel. The event brought together experts and scholars in ophthalmology and optometry, industry partners, and media representatives to witness the official release of the “Expert Consensus on the Application of Distance Imaging Technology in Myopia Prevention and Control” and to engage in in-depth discussions on technological innovation and industrial development in myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents. At the conference, MetaVision officially unveiled its new product—the MetaVision Large-Screen Pupilometry Vision Trainer S1—exploring a new pathway for the synergistic development of children’s electronic devices and myopia management through an integrated model of “learning + eye protection + visual training.”

Currently, the issue of myopia among children and adolescents in China remains severe. The increasing prevalence of electronic learning scenarios has led to a growing demand for scientifically sound eye-use practices and vision management within families. In this context, far-image technology, an emerging technology that has garnered significant attention in recent years, is gradually transitioning from research exploration to clinical application. To further standardize technical application guidelines and promote the healthy development of the industry, MetaVision, in collaboration with multiple experts in the fields of ophthalmology and optometry, has jointly facilitated the formation of the "Expert Consensus on the Application of Far-Image Technology in Myopia Prevention and Control."

At the press conference, Dr. Zhou Jiawei, Secretary-General of the Vision Health Medicine Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotion Association for Medical and Healthcare, provided a systematic interpretation of the consensus. He elaborated on multiple dimensions, including technical principles, scope of application, application standards, and safety assessment, thereby offering an important reference for the future development of distance-like imaging technology and providing academic support for establishing unified industry standards and scientific understanding.

As one of the key outcomes of this event, MetaVision simultaneously launched the MetaVision Large-Screen Ophthalmic Learning Device S1. Unlike traditional learning tablets, this product is defined as an “Integrated Learning and Vision Training Device.” According to Zhou Jianhui, Product Director at MetaVision, the “Vision” in “Learning-Vision Device” not only represents visual health management but also embodies the design philosophy of deeply integrating learning scenarios with vision training and myopia prevention and control. Built upon MetaVision’s proprietary remote-image digital defocus technology and extending from its remote-image screen product line, the device aims to address the common challenge faced by parents: balancing educational needs with eye-care requirements. By combining high-frequency screen-based activities—such as studying, reading, and watching videos—with eye-health management, the device helps children access digital learning resources while enabling more scientific visual hygiene practices.

At the technical level, the MetaVision Large-Screen Ophthalmic Visual Device S1 establishes a dual eye-protection system encompassing both hardware and software. On the hardware front, the product employs far-image display technology based on ARBB optical paths, transforming the traditional close-range viewing mode of electronic devices into a long-distance virtual imaging mode, thereby reducing visual strain caused by sustained near-work at its source. Addressing the prevalent issue of close-range eye use associated with current tablets, learning machines, and smartphones, the product reconstructs viewing distance through optical technological innovation, lowering the potential risk of myopia onset and progression. On the software front, the device features a proprietary digital defocus algorithm that digitizes the myopia management principles of traditional defocus lenses, helping to slow myopia progression by reducing contrast in peripheral retinal imaging. Additionally, the product integrates the VisionOS visual training system, which generates personalized training plans based on each child’s individual ocular health status. Through intelligent reminder mechanisms, it helps users establish scientific visual training habits, achieving synergistic application of visual function training and digital myopia management.

In addition to visual health management features, the MetaVision Large-Screen Smart Learning Device S1 also covers learning resources for all subjects from preschool through basic education, establishing an intelligent learning system that integrates study, practice, and assessment. Addressing the current competitive landscape of the learning device market, MetaVision stated that the product is not solely focused on the content learning sector, but is positioned within a fused “learning + eye care” scenario. While meeting children’s digital learning needs, it places greater emphasis on resolving visual health issues associated with the use of electronic devices. Through the coordinated design of its content resource system and eye-care technology framework, the product aims to provide families with a comprehensive solution that balances learning efficiency and visual health. During the on-site experience session, numerous experts and partners exchanged views and discussed the product’s application value in scenarios such as family education, myopia prevention and control, and visual function training.

During the press conference, several leading industry experts delivered academic presentations on cutting-edge topics in myopia prevention and control. Dr. Zhen Yi from Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, unveiled the latest clinical data for the MetaVision S1, validating the efficacy and safety of this technology in slowing myopia progression through robust research findings. Dr. Tao Yong presented the “SEE Theory” for myopia prevention and control, proposing a comprehensive management framework that integrates behavioral interventions, optical correction, and visual training. Dr. Junhui Du introduced the “Myopia Triple Synergistic Prevention and Control” and the “STOP Prevention and Control System,” providing clinicians with more actionable combined intervention strategies. Dr. Zhao Yang further elaborated on the concept of “Dual-Mode Visual Training for Myopia Halting,” emphasizing the value of combining active and passive training to enhance prevention and control efficiency. The academic presentations by these experts, spanning from mechanisms to clinical applications and from single-point to combined interventions, have established a complete chain of evidence for the standardized application of distance-image technology and distance-image screen products such as the MetaVision S1.

Dr. Yao Jun, Chairman of MetaVision, stated that the release of the "Expert Consensus on the Application of Distance Imaging Technology in Myopia Prevention and Control" and the launch of the MetaVision Large-Screen Optometric Vision Trainer S1 represent significant practices by the company to promote innovative development in myopia management. In the future, the company will continue to deepen its collaborations with professional institutions in the fields of ophthalmology and optometry, accelerate the translation and implementation of more evidence-based medical achievements, and continuously improve myopia management solutions for children and adolescents. Meanwhile, the MetaVision Large-Screen Optometric Vision Trainer S1 is positioned as "the first electronic screen for children," aiming to provide families with a new option that balances learning needs with visual health requirements amid the growing prevalence of artificial intelligence and digital learning, thereby contributing to the construction of a more scientific and systematic ecosystem for eye health management in children and adolescents.
