What are Stellest lenses?

Stellest lenses are specially designed spectacle lenses by Essilor that use D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) technology to correct nearsightedness while simultaneously helping to slow its progression in children.

How do Stellest lenses slow myopia?

Stellest lenses create areas of peripheral defocus using hundreds of invisible treatment zones. This signals the eye to slow its elongation, a key factor in myopia progression, while maintaining clear central vision for daily activities.

Are Stellest lenses comfortable for children?

Yes, Stellest lenses look, feel, and function like regular eyeglasses. Children can wear them comfortably all day for school, sports, and other activities with no special adaptation period needed.

Who is a good candidate for Stellest lenses?

Children whose prescription is increasing year over year, who were diagnosed with myopia at a young age, who spend significant time on screens, or who have a family history of nearsightedness are often good candidates for Stellest lenses.

IMPORTANT

Why Myopia Management Matters

Myopia is more than just needing stronger glasses each year. In many children, it can progress rapidly, increasing the risk of long-term eye health concerns such as retinal complications, glaucoma, and other vision-threatening conditions later in life.

Early intervention is key. Our goal is not only to correct vision, but to help slow down the progression of myopia while the eye is still developing.

How Stellest™ Lenses Work

Stellest lenses use H.A.L.T. technology to correct nearsightedness and slow its progression. The lens features hundreds of invisible treatment zones that create peripheral defocus, signaling the eye to slow its elongation.

Slowed Progression

Peripheral defocus signals the eye to slow elongation, reducing the rate of myopia progression over time.

Better Vision & Eye Health

Children enjoy clear, corrected vision while the lenses actively work to protect their long-term eye health as they grow.

Reduced Future Risk

Slowing myopia now helps lower the risk of developing high myopia and associated vision-threatening conditions later in life.
