Understanding Essilor Stellest Technology and How It Works
Essilor Stellest lenses are a big step forward in fighting myopia in kids. Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming more common. It’s important to stop it early to avoid serious eye problems later.
Essilor Stellest lenses use peripheral light defocus to slow eye growth linked to myopia. They have highly aspherical lenslets for a simple yet effective solution.
The Science Behind Highly Aspherical Lenslets
Highly aspherical lenslets are key in Essilor Stellest lenses. They create a peripheral light defocus. This changes how light hits the eye, slowing eye growth.
Peripheral Light Defocus and Slowing Eye Elongation
The idea of peripheral light defocus is what makes Essilor Stellest lenses work. They adjust the light for the peripheral retina. This slows eye growth, helping control myopia in kids.
Clinical Evidence and Efficacy Compared to Single Vision Lenses
Studies show Essilor Stellest lenses are better than single vision lenses in stopping myopia. The reduction in myopia progression comes from their special design. This design uses highly aspherical lenslets for the right light defocus.
The research backing Essilor Stellest lenses shows they’re a great tool for managing myopia. They help slow eye growth and reduce myopia, helping kids avoid severe myopia.

FAQ: Everything to know about Essilor Stellest Lenses
What are Essilor Stellest Lenses?
Essilor Stellest Lenses are a new way to help kids with myopia. They use special lenslets to slow down how myopia grows.
How do Essilor Stellest Lenses work?
If your child is nearsighted (has myopia), it means their eyes are growing a bit too long, causing distant objects to look blurry. Over time, this can get worse as the eye continues to grow. That’s where Stellest™ lenses come in.
Stellest lenses look just like regular glasses, but inside, they have smart lens technology that gently guides how light focuses in the eye. The center of the lens gives your child clear vision, while the outer part creates a special “signal zone” that helps tell the eye to slow down its growth.
Are Essilor Stellest Lenses FDA-approved?
Yes, they are. The FDA has approved them for managing myopia in kids. This is a big step forward.
