How Stellest® Lenses Work
Stellest® lenses do more than correct blurry vision.
They’re designed to help slow myopia progression as the eye grows.
Here’s the simple idea:
Clear vision in the center
Your child sees clearly through the center of the lens, just like with traditional glasses.Special lenslets around the edges
Surrounding the center are tiny lenslets that gently guide light in the peripheral vision.A signal that helps slow eye growth
This design interrupts a visual signal that causes the eye’s elongation — the main driver of worsening myopia.
This design is called H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology and is built directly into your child’s everyday eyeglasses.
Why Is Myopia a Bigger Concern in Childhood?
Take childhood myopia seriously — without panic.
Nearsightedness is becoming more common in children today than it was in previous generations. And as parents, it’s natural to feel concerned when prescriptions seem to increase year after year.
Here’s the reassuring part: we don’t have to panic.
Myopia is manageable — especially when it’s addressed early and intentionally.
When myopia continues to progress in childhood, it doesn’t just mean stronger glasses. Over time, higher degrees of nearsightedness are associated with increased risks of future eye conditions, including glaucoma, retinal detachment, and myopic macular degeneration.
That’s why early action matters. By slowing myopia progression now, we can help protect your child’s vision and eye health for the long term.
Who is a Good Candidate for Stellest® Lenses?
Stellest® lenses may be a good option for children and teens whose nearsightedness is progressing.
- Children and teens whose myopia keeps increasing
- Families who want to slow myopia without contact lenses or drops
- Kids who are comfortable wearing glasses every day
Every child’s eyes are different.
That’s why we start with a comprehensive eye exam — to determine whether Stellest® lenses are a good fit for your child.
