Essilor Stellest Lenses - A Myopia Management Option for Kids/Teens

Myopia (short-sightedness) is one of the most common vision conditions among children today. With more time spent on screens and less time outdoors, the number of children developing myopia is increasing at an alarming rate. As a parent, you might already know the inconvenience of glasses for clear vision—but what’s more important is the long-term risk of high myopia, which can increase the chances of serious eye problems later in life.

That’s where Essilor Stellest lenses come in.

What Are Stellest Lenses?

Essilor Stellest lenses are specially designed spectacle lenses for children with myopia. Unlike regular single-vision lenses that only correct blurred vision, Stellest lenses go further - they help slow down the progression of myopia while still giving your child clear, comfortable sight.

These lenses use H.A.L.T. technology, with highly aspherical lenslets arranged in concentric rings to form a volume of defocus in the periphery. This design sends a signal to slow eye growth while keeping vision clear in the center. It's one of the most researched options available today.

Research on Essilor Stellest lenses indicate that myopia progression is slowed down by 67% on average*¹ when compared to single vision lenses, when worn 12 hours per day every day for two consecutive years.

In addition, Essilor Stellest lenses are made from Airwear polycarbonate (1.59 index) which provides impact-resistance and blocks 100% transmission of UV - a great option for active children.

About Essilor Stellest Lenses:

• Design: Peripheral defocus with aspherical lenslets
• Technology: H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target)
• Coatings: Crizal Rock / Crizal Prevencia
• Material: 1.59 polycarbonate

The Parent’s Role in Myopia Management

Myopia management works best when parents stay involved. Encouraging healthy habits- like outdoor play, balanced screen time, and regular eye check-ups- works hand-in-hand with Stellest lenses to give your child the best chance at healthy vision for life.

Is Stellest Right for Your Child?

If your child is showing signs of myopia, or their prescription keeps changing every year, Essilor Stellest lenses may be an excellent option. The earlier myopia management begins, the better the results.
