What Are Stellest® Lenses?
Stellest® lenses are specially designed eyeglass lenses that help slow the progression of myopia in children, all while providing the clear, comfortable vision they need for school, sports, and everyday life.
They use Essilor’s breakthrough H.A.L.T.™ (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology, which incorporates hundreds of tiny, invisible lenslets arranged in a precise pattern across the lens. These lenslets work together to create a “volume of myopic defocus”—a scientific way of telling the eye to slow down its growth.
The central portion of the lens corrects distance vision, while the surrounding ring of lenslets helps control eye elongation, the root cause of progressive myopia.
Scientifically Proven to Slow Myopia Progression
Stellest® lenses are supported by extensive research, including multi-year clinical studies showing impressive results:
Children who wore Stellest® lenses consistently (12+ hours per day) experienced a substantial slowing of myopia progression compared to children wearing standard single-vision lenses.
In long-term clinical trials:
Myopia progression was reduced by up to 67% when worn as recommended.
Axial elongation (eye growth) was significantly slower, helping reduce the risk of developing high myopia later in life.
This means Stellest® lenses don’t just correct vision; they support long-term eye health, reducing the lifetime risks associated with high myopia, such as retinal problems and earlier cataracts.
