DKSH and Medical Saigon Eye Hospital System Sign Partnership to Advance Pediatric Short-Sightedness Control in Vietnam

DKSH Vietnam and the Myopia Control Center of Medical Saigon Eye Hospital System, a member of Medical Saigon Group, have signed a cooperation agreement to support the Myopia Control Program across Medical Saigon Group's clinical network in Vietnam, with Topcon Healthcare's myopia management technology and diagnostic equipment as the clinical foundation.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, March 25, 2026 - DKSH Business Unit Healthcare, a strategic healthcare solutions partner and leading provider of Market Expansion Services across Asia and beyond, signed a cooperation agreement with the Myopia Control Center of Medical Saigon Eye Hospital System at the Mắt Sài Gòn Annual Optometry Conference 2026, themed "Myopia Control 2026". The agreement covers a comprehensive partnership between both parties, including supply, distribution, technical services, and clinical capability-building activities to support the Myopia Control Center's specialized pediatric myopia management program in Vietnam.

Short-sightedness among children is one of Vietnam's most pressing eye health challenges, with refractive error rates among school-age children continuing to rise in line with global trends. Myopia control is an emerging approach that goes beyond conventional vision correction, it requires evidence-based, long-term treatment strategies grounded in ocular biometric data, enabling systematic monitoring, personalized treatment planning, and outcome tracking through specialized clinical reporting.

Under the agreement, the Myopia Control Center will prioritize the use of Topcon Healthcare's myopia management equipment and DKSH's services across its existing facilities, as well as future sites. As the authorized exclusive distributor of Topcon Healthcare in Vietnam, DKSH supplies the MYAH Myopia Management device - an integrated toolkit for comprehensive examination, treatment planning, and myopia progression monitoring. Beyond supply and installation, DKSH provides medical consultation, technology transfer, and a full range of technical services and after-sales support in accordance with international standards, ensuring partners are fully equipped with the knowledge and tools to deliver internationally benchmarked eye care to Vietnamese patients.

Huynh Le Duc, Group Chief Executive Officer of Medical Saigon Group, said: "Myopia control must be approached as a long-term clinical journey, combining scientific foundations, real-world data, and standardized practice. Through this conference and partnership, we aim to create a platform where specialists can share experience, align on emerging evidence, and build a rigorous model for pediatric myopia management in Vietnam."

Ta Minh Cuong, General Manager, Business Unit Healthcare, DKSH Vietnam, mentioned: "At DKSH, guided by our mission to deliver healthcare for all, we go beyond distribution. Through this partnership, we believe short-sightedness in children can be systematically screened and meaningfully controlled. As the exclusive partner of Topcon Healthcare in Vietnam, we bring a comprehensive range of technology, training, and support to help make evidence-based myopia care a consistent standard across Myopia Control Center's network."
