Stellest Lenses

Myopia is becoming increasingly common in children, and when it progresses quickly, it can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life. At Texas State Optical Dowlen, we’re committed to offering evidence-based solutions that go beyond simply correcting vision. One of the most exciting advancements in myopia management today is Essilor Stellest lenses, developed by Essilor.

What Are Essilor Stellest Lenses?

Essilor Stellest lenses are specially designed, recently FDA-approved eyeglass lenses in the U.S. created to help slow the progression of myopia in children. Unlike standard single-vision lenses, which only correct blurry distance vision, Stellest lenses address how light is focused on the retina to help manage eye growth over time.

These lenses use a unique optical design that incorporates a constellation of small lens elements across the surface. This design helps create a specific light signal that research shows can reduce the stimulus that drives myopia progression - while still providing clear, comfortable vision for everyday activities like reading, schoolwork, and sports.

How Do Stellest Lenses Work?

In children with myopia, the eye tends to grow longer than normal, causing distant objects to appear blurry. Traditional glasses correct this blur but do not influence how the eye continues to grow. Stellest lenses are different because they incorporate advanced H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology, which is specifically designed to help manage myopia progression.

These lenses are designed to:

• Provide clear central vision for daily activities such as reading, learning, and play

• Use H.A.L.T. technology to create a controlled and consistent focus of light in the peripheral retina

• Help reduce the visual signals that encourage excessive eye elongation

Clinical studies have shown that children wearing Essilor Stellest lenses can experience a significant reduction in myopia progression compared to children wearing traditional single-vision lenses.

Who Can Benefit from Essilor Stellest Lenses?

Stellest lenses are typically recommended for:

• Children who are already nearsighted

• Kids whose prescriptions are changing rapidly

• Families with a history of high myopia

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

Because every child’s eyes are different, a comprehensive eye exam and myopia evaluation are essential to determine whether Stellest lenses in Beaumont are the right choice.

What Makes Stellest Lenses Different from Regular Glasses?

While they look like normal eyeglasses, Essilor Stellest lenses are designed with both vision correction and long-term eye health in mind. Children can wear them just like regular glasses - no special routines or treatments required - making them an easy option for families who prefer a simple, effective approach to myopia management. They can also be paired with modern lens materials, coatings, and frame styles, so kids don’t have to compromise on comfort or appearance.
