Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is becoming increasingly common in children—especially those who spend long hours indoors or on digital devices. At Vision Pro in Spring, TX, we offer Stellest® lenses as part of our evidence-based approach to myopia management. These lenses not only correct blurry distance vision but also help slow the progression of myopia over time.
What Are Stellest® Lenses?
Stellest® lenses are specially designed prescription lenses that look like traditional eyeglass lenses but offer additional long-term benefits. Developed by Essilor, Stellest® lenses incorporate a patented technology known as Highly Aspherical Lenslets (HALT), which creates a volume of signal in front of the retina to slow down the elongation of the eye—a key factor in myopia progression.
These lenses are clear, lightweight, and comfortable for everyday wear. Most importantly, they are backed by clinical research showing that consistent use can reduce the rate of myopia progression by up to 67 percent compared to single-vision lenses.
Who Can Benefit from Stellest® Lenses?
Stellest® lenses are most effective for children and young teens whose eyes are still growing. Your child may be a good candidate if:
- They have been diagnosed with myopia
- Their prescription is increasing more than expected for their age
- They have a family history of high myopia
- They spend considerable time on screens or indoors
At Vision Pro, we conduct a comprehensive eye exam and lifestyle assessment to determine whether Stellest® lenses are appropriate for your child’s vision needs.
What to Expect from the Fitting Process
Stellest® lenses are worn like standard eyeglasses and require no special maintenance. During your child’s eye exam, our optometrist will evaluate their prescription, measure eye growth where appropriate, and recommend a lens design tailored to their individual needs. Regular follow-up visits are important to track progress and make adjustments as needed.
