Myopia Management
Short-sightedness (myopia) is a very common eye condition where you cannot see objects far away clearly.
More children are getting myopia at younger ages – partly due to a rise in sedentary indoor lifestyles and an increasing amount of time spent in near activities. The younger a child develops myopia, the further it evolves, and the higher it becomes. Even with corrected lenses, their daily life may be impacted after a few months.
Myopia may impact children’s well-being and development

Stellest® lenses
Essilor’s latest innovation to slow down myopia progression in children.
​
Most children are equipped with standard lenses, however those lenses only correct myopia but the eyes keep growing and so myopia progresses as well.
Essilor® Stellest® lenses correct myopia but also control its progression, with no compromises.
Don’t just correct myopia, choose to control it.
Essilor® Stellest® slow down myopia progression by 67% on average* compared to single vision lenses, when worn 12 hours a day

*Compared to single vision lenses, when worn by children at least 12 hours per day every day.
