What are Essilor Stellest Lenses?
Think of Essilor Stellest lenses as a proactive approach to your child's eye health. They're a clinically proven lens designed to correct myopia while actively slowing its progression — giving children clear vision today and better protection for tomorrow.
Unlike standard lenses that only correct blurry vision, Stellest lenses use advanced H.A.L.T. technology to address the root cause of worsening nearsightedness — helping children see clearly while reducing the risk of more serious eye conditions down the road.
How Do Stellest Lenses Work?
Developed by Essilor and recommended by eye care professionals, Stellest lenses feature:
A constellation of 1,021 micro-lenslets spread across the lens surface
A unique design that sends signals to slow the eye's elongation
Clinically proven results, slowing myopia progression by an average of 67%
A comfortable, natural look and feel that children can easily adapt to
Each pair is prescribed and customized to your child's needs, making them an ideal solution for children aged 6–16 — the critical years when myopia tends to develop and worsen most rapidly.
How it helps
Stellest lenses are an ideal solution for children who experience:
Blurry distance vision or difficulty seeing the board at school
Squinting or frequent eye strain
A myopia prescription that keeps getting stronger
A family history of myopia or high nearsightedness
Increased screen time or limited outdoor activity
Children at higher risk for myopia progression include those with:
A diagnosed myopia prescription
One or both parents with myopia
Excessive near work such as reading or device use
Limited time spent outdoors each day
If your child's prescription keeps changing or myopia runs in your family, Stellest lenses could make a lasting difference in their long-term eye health.
