Essilor Stellest Myopia Management Lenses

Good news for parents! The FDA has approved the first eyeglass lenses designed to help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. These are not regular glasses — they use special lens technology to help protect your child’s vision as their eyes grow. Stellest® lenses look just like normal glasses, but they work in a smarter way to help slow down how quickly nearsightedness gets worse.

What Makes Stellest® Lenses Different?

If you have myopia, you may notice the following symptoms:

• Designed for children ages 6–12 years

• Look like regular glasses — comfortable and easy to wear

• Special lens design helps slow excessive eye growth

• Clear center for sharp vision, with tiny “lenslets” around the edges that gently guide how light enters the eye

• Helps reduce the risk of stronger prescriptions over time
  
  

Why this matters: When the eye grows too long, nearsightedness gets worse. Stellest® lenses help slow that growth.

What Does the Research Show?

Clinical studies show impressive results:

• 71% slower myopia progression compared to regular glasses

• 53% less eye growth (axial length increase)

• Safe and well-tolerated by children

• Mild blur or halos may occur at first and usually improve quickly
  
  

Slowing eye growth helps reduce the long-term risk of serious eye conditions later in life.

Why Myopia Control Matters for Your Child

Myopia often worsens during childhood. Higher prescriptions increase the risk of:

• Retinal problems

• Glaucoma

• Cataracts

• Other vision complications later in life
  
  

Stellest® lenses offer a non-invasive, easy option for children who may not be ready for contact lenses or prefer glasses.
