How Do Stellest Lenses Work?

Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming increasingly common in children, and for many families, the concern goes beyond blurry distance vision. Progressive myopia can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, which is why early myopia management is so important. One of the most advanced solutions available today is Essilor® Stellest™ lenses - now offered at Dr. Wong & Associates in Danbury, CT.
 

Why Myopia Management Matters for Children

Myopia often begins in childhood and can worsen rapidly during the growing years. Higher levels of myopia are associated with an increased risk of eye health problems later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

By starting myopia management early, parents can:

• Help protect their child’s long-term eye health
• Reduce the speed at which myopia worsens
• Support clearer, more comfortable vision during critical learning years

What Are Stellest Lenses?

Stellest lenses are specialized eyeglass lenses designed specifically for myopia management in children. Unlike standard single-vision glasses that only correct blurry vision, Stellest lenses are engineered to slow the progression of myopia over time while still providing clear, comfortable vision for everyday activities like school, sports, and screen use.
 

How HALT Technology Works

Essilor Stellest lenses use an innovative design called HALT (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology. This technology incorporates a constellation of tiny, nearly invisible lenslets placed across the lens surface. These lenslets create a specific optical signal that helps manage how light focuses on the retina.

In simple terms:

• The center of the lens corrects your child’s vision so they can see clearly.
• The surrounding lenslets help guide eye growth in a healthier way.
• This combination helps reduce the stimulus that causes the eye to elongate, which is a key factor in myopia progression.

Clinical studies have shown that Stellest lenses can significantly slow myopia progression when worn consistently.
