Stellest® Myopia-Control Glasses for Children

FDA-authorized 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 use an advanced optical design to help slow myopia progression and axial elongation.  Stellest lenses are FDA-authorized for eligible children ages 6–12 at the beginning of treatment.

• How They Work: Stellest lenses use H.A.L.T. technology (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target), consisting of 11 rings of aspherical lenslets. These lenslets create signals in front of the retina that help slow the excessive eye growth associated with childhood myopia.
  

• Clinical Evidence: In the two-year U.S. clinical study reviewed by the FDA, Stellest lenses reduced myopia progression by 71% and axial elongation by 53% at 24 months compared with single-vision lenses. Individual results may vary.

• Clear Central Vision: A clear central area provides the child’s distance prescription, while the surrounding lenslets provide the myopia-control treatment. Some children may notice temporary blur or halos while adapting to the lenses.

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.
