Can Stellest Lenses Really Control Myopia Progression?

Myopia is becoming increasingly common - especially among children and teenagers. If your child has been diagnosed with myopia, you may be concerned about how quickly their prescription is changing and what that could mean for their long-term eye health. New advances in eye care have introduced innovative options designed to slow myopia progression, including Stellest lenses.

What Is Myopia and Why Does Progression Matter?

Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing distant objects to appear blurry while near objects remain clear. When myopia progresses rapidly - especially during childhood - it can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration. Because of these risks, controlling myopia progression early is an important part of protecting long-term vision and eye health.

What Are Stellest Lenses?

Stellest lenses are specially designed eyeglass lenses created to help slow the progression of myopia in children. Unlike standard single-vision lenses that simply correct blurry distance vision, Stellest lenses use advanced optical technology to influence how light focuses on the retina.

These lenses feature a central zone that provides clear vision and multiple small segments surrounding it that help manage peripheral defocus - a factor believed to contribute to myopia progression.

How Do Stellest Lenses Work?

Stellest lenses use proprietary H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology to manage this issue. The lenses combine a clear central vision zone with a constellation of highly aspherical lenslets that create a controlled volume of myopic defocus in the peripheral retina. This helps regulate eye growth while maintaining clear, comfortable vision.

Stellest lenses are designed to:

•           Provide sharp, clear vision for everyday activities

•           Use H.A.L.T. technology to manage peripheral defocus

By addressing both vision correction and the biological signals that drive eye elongation, Stellest lenses offer a more advanced approach to myopia management than standard single-vision lenses alone.

Do Stellest Lenses Actually Slow Myopia Progression?

Clinical studies have shown promising results. Research indicates that Stellest lenses can reduce myopia progression by up to 71% in children when worn consistently and as prescribed. While results vary from child to child, many patients experience significantly slower prescription changes compared to traditional single-vision glasses.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Stellest Lenses?

Stellest lenses are typically recommended for children who:

•           Are experiencing progressive myopia

•           Have a family history of nearsightedness

•           Are in the early or moderate stages of myopia

•           Can wear glasses consistently throughout the day

A comprehensive eye exam and myopia evaluation are essential to determine whether Stellest lenses are the right fit for your child’s visual needs and lifestyle.
