Stellest Lenses
Stellest lenses are a type of eyeglass lens designed to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children by using a unique technology of microscopic lenslets arranged in a pattern of 11 rings. These lenses provide clear vision in a central zone while the surrounding rings create a "myopia control signal" to help slow eye growth. Stellest lenses have received FDA approval and are intended for children as young as 6 years old, and clinical studies show they can reduce myopia progression by up to 71% over two years with daily wear.
How they work
- H.A.L.T. technology: The lenses feature 1021 invisible micro-lenslets arranged in 11
rings around a central clear zone.
- Peripheral defocus: These lenslets create a peripheral light signal that helps slow
down the elongation of the eyeball, a primary cause of myopia progression.
- Clear vision: The central 9mm zone is clear, providing sharp vision similar to
traditional glasses.
Benefits and effectiveness
- Slows myopia progression: Clinical studies have demonstrated that Stellest lenses
can slow myopia progression by up to 71% in two years compared to standard
single-vision lenses.
- Reduced risk: Long-term research suggests the lenses can reduce the risk of
progressing to high myopia by 30%.
Comfort and adaptation: Studies show most children feel comfortable and adapt quickly, with 100% having clear vision.
- Alternative to contact lenses: They offer a non-contact lens option for myopia
control, which may be suitable for younger children or those who are unable to wear
contacts.
Considerations
- Prescription and wearing time: For optimal results, the lenses are recommended
to be worn for at least 12-15 hours a day, as shown in clinical studies.
Cost: Stellest lenses are an advanced technology and may be more expensive than
standard lenses.
- Professional consultation: An eye care practitioner should be consulted to
determine if Stellest lenses are the right choice for a child, especially if they are just
starting to develop myopia.
