How Essilor Stellest Lenses Slow Myopia Progression in Kids

With more time spent on screens and less time outdoors, many kids are developing myopia earlier and seeing it worsen more quickly than in past generations. At D Vision Eyecare, we focus not only on correcting blurry vision, but also on slowing myopia progression to help protect your child’s long-term eye health. One of the most effective tools available today is Essilor Stellest Lenses, an advanced spectacle lens designed specifically to manage myopia in children.

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. As a child’s eyes continue to grow, their prescription can increase year after year. Progressive myopia isn’t just an inconvenience - it can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration, and early cataracts.

Slowing myopia progression during childhood is critical because the fastest eye growth typically happens between ages 6 and 12. The goal of myopia management is to reduce how quickly the prescription worsens while still providing clear, comfortable vision.

How Essilor Stellest Lenses Work

 

Essilor Stellest lenses are different from traditional single-vision glasses. They are designed using a unique optical technology that addresses both vision correction and myopia control.

Key Features of Stellest Lenses

•           Clear central vision: The center of the lens corrects your child’s prescription, allowing them to see clearly at all distances.

•           Myopia control zones: Surrounding the central area are hundreds of small, lenslet structures that create a specific light signal on the retina.

•           Controlled eye growth: These lenslets help slow excessive eye elongation, which is the main cause of myopia progression.

This design allows children to wear the lenses just like regular glasses, with no special routines or nighttime wear required.

Proven Results Backed by Research

 

Clinical studies have shown that Essilor Stellest lenses can significantly slow myopia progression when worn consistently. Research indicates that children wearing Stellest lenses experienced slower prescription increases compared to those wearing standard single-vision lenses.

For many families, this means:

•           Fewer and smaller prescription changes over time

•           Reduced long-term eye health risks

•           A non-invasive, easy-to-use myopia management option
