How Stellest® Lenses Can Help Slow Your Child’s Myopia Progression

Myopia is becoming increasingly common in children - and it’s progressing faster than ever before. At Capitol Eye Care Center, we take a proactive approach to myopia management, offering advanced solutions designed not just to correct vision, but to help slow myopia progression and protect your child’s long-term eye health. One of the most exciting innovations available today is Stellest Lenses, recently FDA-approved for use in the United States.

Understanding Myopia and Why Early Management Matters

 

Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing distant objects to appear blurry. In children, myopia often worsens as they grow. Higher levels of myopia are associated with an increased lifetime risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration.

That’s why early intervention through myopia management is so important. Rather than simply correcting blurry vision, myopia management aims to slow the progression of myopia during childhood and adolescence, when the eyes are still developing.

What Are Stellest Lenses?

 

Stellest lenses are a next-generation spectacle lens specifically designed for children with myopia. Unlike traditional glasses that only correct vision, Stellest lenses are engineered to actively help slow the progression of myopia while still providing clear, comfortable vision for everyday activities.

How Stellest Lenses Work

 

Stellest lenses use proprietary H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology, which is the key to their effectiveness.

H.A.L.T. technology works by:

•           Providing clear central vision for daily tasks like reading, schoolwork, and sports

•           Creating a specialized peripheral focus pattern that signals the eye to slow down excessive growth

•           Helping reduce the stimulus that contributes to myopia progression over time

Clinical studies have shown that Stellest lenses can significantly slow myopia progression when worn consistently, making them a powerful non-invasive option for children.

Are Stellest Lenses Right for Your Child?

 

Stellest lenses are typically recommended for children who:

•           Have been diagnosed with myopia

•           Are experiencing progression year over year

•           Are old enough to wear glasses consistently and responsibly

During a comprehensive pediatric eye exam, our optometrists will evaluate your child’s vision, eye growth, and overall eye health to determine whether Stellest lenses are an appropriate solution.
