Essilor® Stellest® spectacle lenses in Frisco
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common among children. While traditional eyeglasses can help children see clearly, they do not address the progression of myopia itself. At EyeQ Vision, we incorporate Stellest® lenses into personalized myopia management plans.
What Are Stellest® Myopia Lenses?
Stellest® lenses are advanced eyeglass lenses designed for children with myopia. Unlike traditional single-vision lenses that simply correct blurry distance vision, Stellest® lenses improve vision and help slow the progression of nearsightedness.
These innovative lenses use specialized optical technology to help children see clearly while also managing the eye growth associated with worsening myopia. This dual-purpose design makes Stellest® an attractive option for families looking for a non-invasive, glasses-based approach to myopia management.
How Do These Glasses Correct Nearsightedness?
Unlike traditional eyeglass lenses that correct blurry vision, Stellest® lenses are designed to improve vision and help manage myopia progression. The lenses use Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target (H.A.L.T.) technology, an innovative optical design that works alongside clear central vision correction.
This specialized lens design creates a volume of signal in front of the retina while maintaining clear vision through the center of the lens. Researchers believe this helps reduce the stimulus associated with continued eye elongation, allowing Stellest® lenses to support healthier visual development.
Backed by Clinical Research
Stellest® spectacle lenses are supported by years of clinical research focused on slowing the progression of childhood myopia. Clinical studies have shown that children wearing Stellest® lenses experienced slower myopia progression than those wearing traditional single-vision eyeglass lenses.
Researchers have also observed reduced eye elongation in children wearing Stellest® lenses, an important finding because excessive eye growth is associated with the long-term risk of progressive myopia. These findings have helped establish Stellest® as one of the leading spectacle lens options available for myopia management.
The Benefits of Stellest® Lenses
Stellest® lenses offer a unique combination of vision correction, convenience, and long-term eye health benefits for children with myopia.
Stellest® lenses provide clear everyday vision while helping slow the progression of nearsightedness.
Children can enjoy the familiar experience of wearing eyeglasses without making major changes to their daily routine.
Stellest® provides a glasses-based myopia management solution for families who prefer not to pursue contact lenses
By slowing myopia progression, Stellest® may reduce future risks associated with higher levels of nearsightedness.
Stellest® is supported by clinical studies demonstrating its effectiveness as a myopia management solution.
Stellest® Lenses vs. Traditional Glasses
Traditional children's eyeglasses correct blurry vision, allowing children with myopia to see clearly at a distance. While they are effective for vision correction, they do not address the progression of myopia itself. As a result, many children continue to receive increasing numbers of prescriptions over time.
Stellest® lenses take a different approach. In addition to providing clear vision, they are designed to help slow myopia progression through advanced optical technology. This means children receive the vision correction they need while also benefiting from a treatment strategy focused on protecting their future eye health.
During your child's eye exam, our Frisco eye doctors can help determine whether Stellest® lenses may be a beneficial option based on their prescription, age, and individual risk factors.
