Stellest® Myopia-Control Glasses for Children
FDA-approved myopia-control lenses available at Vision Source Orland Park
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.
Not Sure Which Myopia Treatment Is Right for Your Child?
Stellest® lenses are one option within our broader childhood myopia management program. During your child’s evaluation, our doctors may also discuss Ortho-K nighttime retainers, soft myopia-control contact lenses, atropine therapy, or combination approaches depending on your child’s needs.
