Myopia Control with Essilor® Stellest® Lenses
With Stellest®, families now have a non-invasive, glasses-based solution that supports long-term eye health. In clinical studies, children wearing Stellest® lenses experienced an average 67% reduction in myopia progression compared to those wearing standard single-vision lenses.
What Is Myopia?
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is one of the most common vision conditions in children, and it’s becoming more widespread globally. Children with myopia can see clearly up close but have difficulty seeing objects at a distance. This may show up as squinting at the board, holding devices too close, or avoiding sports and outdoor play.
More significantly, untreated myopia can worsen over time, increasing the risk of serious eye health issues such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration later in life. That’s why early intervention matters.
How Essilor® Stellest® Lenses Work
Essilor® Stellest® lenses are a specialized type of myopia management spectacle lens designed not only to correct nearsighted vision but also to help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. Their mechanism is based on how light is focused on — and in front of — the retina to signal the eye to slow its growth.
Is Stellest® Right for My Child?
Stellest® lenses are for children and young teens with progressing myopia. If your child’s prescription increases at each visit, it may be a sign they could benefit from a myopia management approach like Stellest®. Kids already wearing glasses are often great candidates.
We’ll assess your child’s vision, eye health, visual habits, and lifestyle to create a personalized care plan. Myopia management isn’t one-size-fits-all, and our team is here to guide your family every step of the way.
