STELLEST® LENSES
Clear Vision Today. Supporting Better Vision for Tomorrow.
Childhood myopia (nearsightedness) can progress as children grow, potentially increasing the risk of future eye health complications. Stellest® lenses by Essilor are specially designed eyeglass lenses that provide clear vision while helping slow myopia progression in children.
At Silicon Valley Optometry, we offer personalized myopia management options to support your child's vision and long-term eye health.
What Are Stellest® Lenses?
Stellest® lenses are innovative spectacle lenses developed by Essilor to help manage childhood myopia. Unlike traditional single-vision glasses, which correct blurry distance vision, Stellest lenses are designed to both correct vision and help slow the progression of nearsightedness.
They offer a convenient, noninvasive option for children who prefer wearing glasses or may not be ready for contact lenses.
How Do Stellest® Lenses Work?
Stellest® lenses feature Essilor's patented Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target (H.A.L.T.) technology. This technology incorporates a central zone for clear vision surrounded by a pattern of specially designed lenslets. These lenslets create a myopic defocus signal intended to help slow the excessive elongation of the eye associated with myopia progression. By combining vision correction with myopia management technology, Stellest lenses provide an alternative to traditional single-vision glasses for eligible children.
Benefits of Stellest® Lenses
A Convenient Approach to Childhood Myopia Management
Stellest® lenses offer several benefits for children and families seeking an alternative to conventional eyeglasses.
- Clear Everyday Vision: Corrects nearsightedness to help children see clearly during school, sports, and daily activities.
- Myopia Management: Clinically studied lens technology designed to help slow the progression of childhood myopia.
- Noninvasive Treatment: Provides myopia management through eyeglasses without requiring contact lenses or surgery.
- Easy Integration: Can be incorporated into a child's everyday routine, making them a practical option for many families.
- Long-Term Eye Health: Slowing myopia progression may help reduce the risk of certain eye complications associated with higher levels of nearsightedness later in life.
IS YOUR CHILD A CANDIDATE FOR STELLEST® LENSES?
Stellest® lenses may be an option for children with myopia, particularly those whose nearsightedness is progressing.
However, every child's eyes are different. Factors such as age, prescription, eye health, and myopia progression history help determine whether these lenses are appropriate.
A comprehensive eye examination and myopia management consultation can help identify the most suitable approach for your child's individual needs.
