On February 4, 2026, a delegation led by Professor Alexander Myagkov—a prominent Russian expert, Director of the Russian National Myopia Research Institute, head of the OKVision Group, and Editor-in-Chief of the SCOPUS-indexed journal THE EYE GLAZ—visited Thondar headquarters. The visit involved in-depth academic exchanges regarding MRT (Multispectral Refraction Topography) myopia control technology and resulted in several collaborative agreements. This visit marks the official entry of Thondar’s proprietary MRT technology into the Russian market, further accelerating the global application and expansion of China's original ophthalmic innovations.

Professor Alexander Myagkov is a leading expert in the field of international myopia control, with extensive experience in the research and clinical practice of peripheral defocus theory. As the editor-in-chief and primary author of several key optometry textbooks in Russia, he has established a professional background in product validation and industry education. During the visit, Professor Myagkov and Dr. Xuechuan Dong, General Manager of Thondar, discussed the technical principles of MRT, customized myopia management solutions, and potential directions for future clinical cooperation.

Addressing Technical Constraints: MRT Recognized as a Significant Advancement in Peripheral Measurement

Professor Myagkov noted that current peripheral refraction testing often faces challenges such as slow speeds and low precision, which have significantly limited the depth of myopia control research. After a hands-on demonstration of the MRT device, his team concluded that its performance—featuring a 150° wide-angle view, 0.05° measurement precision, and a 2-second rapid testing capability—is at the forefront of the industry globally. The Professor specifically emphasized that this technology enables a visual, quantitative analysis of defocus states before and after Orthokeratology (OK lens) fitting, providing essential support for personalized, precise fitting and lens optimization.

Advancing Personalized Myopia Control and Enhancing Regional Management Standards

Professor Myagkov noted that while various myopia control lenses are available in the current market, many are standardized designs that may not fully address the diverse needs of individual patients. He suggested that Thondar’s customized solutions, based on precise MRT defocus data, offer a path toward more personalized myopia management with the potential to optimize control outcomes. Furthermore, he invited the Thondar team to participate in upcoming optometry conferences to present this innovative, independently developed technology to the international academic community.

Deepening International Cooperation: Building a Collaborative Framework for Myopia Control

This visit has established a foundation for long-term clinical and scientific research cooperation between the two parties. Thondar will work alongside Professor Myagkov’s team to promote the practical application of MRT technology across the region, supporting the advancement of localized myopia control research and clinical practice.

Thondar remains dedicated to providing precise and efficient solutions for global vision health through independent innovation. This collaboration with a prominent international expert serves as a significant recognition of the technical capabilities of MRT and marks a meaningful step forward in the global expansion of Chinese ophthalmic technology. Moving forward, Thondar will continue to deepen its engagement with international partners to collectively advance the field of myopia control.
