If your child has been diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness), you’re not alone. At Hartland Eyecare, we’re proud to offer Stellest® lenses by Essilor®, a clinically validated way to slow the progression of myopia in children.
They look just like regular lenses, but they deliver powerful results. In clinical studies, children who wore Stellest® lenses at least 12 hours a day saw their myopia progression slow by 67% on average.
How Stellest® Lenses Work to Slow Myopia in Children
Unlike ordinary glasses that only correct blurry distance vision, Stellest® lenses also help manage how the eye grows over time. This is due to HALT® technology, a unique design featuring a constellation of small lenslets arranged in precise rings across the lens surface.
These lenslets create a gentle “volume of signal” or focused light pattern in front of the retina, helping to guide proper eye development without affecting your child’s ability to see clearly.
A Myopia Treatment That Fits Into Real Life
Because Stellest® lenses are glasses, not contacts or eye drops, they’re easy to wear, noninvasive, and simple to work into your child’s daily routine. They’re a great fit for active kids, whether they’re running around at recess, reading at their desk, or watching a movie at home. Stellest® lenses give your child the benefit of clear vision now and healthier eyes in the future.
Who Can Benefit From Stellest® Lenses?
Stellest® is ideal for children aged six to 16 who are experiencing progressive myopia. If your child’s nearsightedness seems to be worsening each year, Stellest® may be a smart solution to help slow it down while still correcting their vision. Because it’s a safe and noninvasive option, many parents choose Stellest® as a first-line treatment or as part of a broader myopia management plan.
Why Myopia Control Matters
Myopia isn’t just about needing glasses. As it progresses, it can increase the risk of serious eye health issues later in life, including retinal detachment and glaucoma. That’s why our team at Hartland Eyecare focuses on early intervention and personalized treatment options to help protect your child’s vision now and in the future.
Is Stellest® Right for Your Child?
The best way to explore your options is by scheduling a consultation. During your child’s myopia consultation, we’ll review their eye health, current prescription, and lifestyle to determine the most effective treatment options. Stellest® lenses may be recommended on their own or combined with other myopia control strategies such as MiSight® contacts or orthokeratology (Ortho-K).
