Stellest lenses are specially designed eyeglass lenses that help slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in children. Unlike regular glasses that only correct blurry distance vision, Stellest lenses use a unique technology that signals the eye to slow its growth. This means your child can see clearly today while helping protect their vision for the future.
"Myopia made it difficult for Marcus to see clearly at school"
"If I didn't wear glasses, sometimes it was hard to see around and see my friends"
Stellest lenses look and feel like regular glasses, making them an easy choice for children who prefer not to wear contact lenses. Your child wears them during the day just like any other pair of glasses. The special lens design works while they go about their normal activities: school, sports, and play.
Find out if Stellest lenses are right for your child. Our eye doctors will evaluate your child's vision, discuss your family's needs, and help you understand all available myopia management options.
Stellest lenses work well for many children with myopia, but they may not be the right choice for everyone. Factors like your child's age, prescription, and how quickly their myopia is progressing all play a role. Our eye doctors can help determine if Stellest is a good match for your child's needs.
Stellest lenses have been tested in clinical studies and shown to be safe for children to wear. Most kids adapt to the lenses quickly and find them comfortable for all-day use. The lenses provide clear vision while working to slow myopia progression.
Wondering how Stellest compares to other myopia management treatments? We offer several approaches including contact lenses, atropine drops, and ortho-k. Understanding your options helps you choose the best path for your child.
Stellest lenses feature a special design with tiny lenslets arranged in rings around a clear central zone. While the center provides sharp vision for seeing clearly, the outer lenslets create signals that help slow down eye growth. This approach addresses myopia at its source rather than just correcting the blurry vision.
Higher levels of myopia can increase the risk of eye health problems later in life, including conditions that affect the retina. By slowing how quickly myopia gets worse during childhood, Stellest lenses aim to keep your child's prescription lower over time. This may help reduce the risk of these future eye health concerns.
Atropine drops are another approach to myopia management that works differently than Stellest lenses. Some families choose one or the other, while others may use both together as part of a combination approach. Our eye doctors can explain the differences and help you decide what makes sense for your child.
Stellest lenses are designed for children who are developing myopia. The best time to start depends on your child's individual situation, including their age, prescription, and how quickly their myopia is progressing. During a consultation, we can assess whether Stellest is appropriate for your child.

(485)Both Stellest lenses and atropine eye drops can help slow myopia progression, but they work differently. Stellest is worn during the day like regular glasses, while atropine drops are applied at bedtime. Some children benefit from using both together as part of a combination approach.
Stellest lenses are just one approach to managing your child's myopia. Learn more about other treatment options, what causes nearsightedness, and how to recognize the signs early. These resources will help you understand the full picture of myopia care.
