The New Essilor® Stellest® Spectacle Lenses

FDA-Approved Treatments for Myopia Control

Advanced Myopia Control with H.A.L.T. Technology

For children who are not yet ready for contact lenses or as an alternative to orthokeratology, we offer Essilor® Stellest® lenses. These lenses are specifically engineered to slow down myopia progression and inhibit axial elongation through a sophisticated optical design.

  • How They Work: Stellest lenses utilize H.A.L.T. technology (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target). This consists of a constellation of aspherical lenslets spread across 11 rings. These lenslets create a volume of non-focused light in front of the retina, following its shape. This signal acts as a “brake” on eye growth, preventing the eye from lengthening excessively.

  • Clinical Efficacy: Clinical trials have demonstrated that Stellest lenses can slow down myopia progression by an average of 67% compared to single-vision lenses when worn at least 12 hours a day.

  • Seamless Integration: The central zone of the lens provides sharp distance vision, ensuring that the child’s visual acuity for school and daily activities is not compromised, while the peripheral treatment zone manages the myopia.

Orthokeratology Nighttime Retainers

Ortho K can be thought of as vision’s equivalent of dental braces. Ortho K retainer lenses can be worn by children as young as 7-10 years of age.

Ortho K retainers are worn at night and gently reshape the surface of the cornea while sleeping.  In the morning, the retainers are removed and eliminate the need for daytime glasses or contact lenses. This is ideal for active kids who are involved in sports and other activities.  Ortho K retainers are worn nightly to maintain the effect.

Studies show that this method slowed myopia progression by an average of 40-60%.  The safety and efficacy of Ortho K has been well documented:
