Essilor Stellest Lenses

Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming more common in children, and when it progresses quickly, it can increase the risk of eye health issues later in life. Brianna Herring, O.D. is committed to providing proven myopia management solutions that focus not only on clearer vision today, but on protecting your child’s long-term eye health. One of the most advanced options available is Essilor Stellest lenses, developed by Essilor.

What Are Essilor Stellest Lenses?

Essilor Stellest lenses are FDA-approved eyeglass lenses designed specifically to help slow the progression of myopia in children. Unlike traditional single-vision lenses that only correct blurry distance vision, Stellest lenses are engineered to influence how light is focused on the retina, helping guide healthier eye growth over time.

These lenses feature an innovative optical design made up of microscopic lenslets distributed across the lens surface. This design creates a targeted light pattern shown in clinical research to help reduce the signals that contribute to myopia progression - while still providing clear, comfortable vision for daily activities like reading, learning, and sports.

How Do Essilor Stellest Lenses Work?

In children with myopia, the eye often grows longer than normal, which causes distant objects to appear blurry. Standard glasses correct this blur but do not address continued eye growth. Essilor Stellest lenses are different because they use H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology, which is specifically designed to help manage myopia progression.

These lenses are designed to:

• Provide sharp, clear central vision for everyday tasks

• Create a controlled focus of light in the peripheral retina

• Reduce visual signals that encourage excessive eye elongation

Clinical studies show that children wearing Essilor Stellest lenses experienced an average reduction in myopia progression of up to 67% over two years compared to children wearing standard single-vision lenses.

Who Can Benefit From Essilor Stellest Lenses?

Essilor Stellest lenses may be recommended for:

• Children who are already nearsighted

• Kids with rapidly changing prescriptions

• Children with a family history of high myopia

• Parents seeking a non-invasive, glasses-based myopia management option

A comprehensive eye exam and myopia evaluation with Brianna Herring, O.D. is essential to determine whether Stellest lenses are the right choice for your child.

How Are Stellest Lenses Different from Regular Glasses?

Although Stellest lenses look like standard eyeglasses, they are designed with long term eye health in mind. Children wear them just like regular glasses, with no special routines or treatments required, making them an easy and effective option for busy families. They can also be paired with modern frames and lens coatings, so comfort and appearance are never compromised.
