Childhood myopia is becoming increasingly common, and without proper early intervention, it often worsens year after year. At East Main Vision Clinic, we specialize in myopia management in Puyallup, helping families protect their children’s long-term vision with proven, science-backed solutions. One of the most advanced and effective options available today is Essilor Stellest Lenses.

What Are Stellest Lenses?

Stellest lenses look and feel like regular prescription lenses but are engineered with an innovative optical design created specifically for myopia control. They correct blurry distance vision while simultaneously working to slow the abnormal elongation of the eye. Rather than simply helping your child see clearly, Stellest lenses actively support healthier visual development over time.

How Stellest Lenses Work

At the heart of Stellest lenses is Essilor’s groundbreaking H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology. Each lens contains a constellation of tiny, invisible lenslets arranged to create a “volume of non-focal power.” This special pattern sends a therapeutic optical cue to the eye that helps slow the rate of axial elongation.

In simple terms:
 

• The central zone corrects myopia so your child sees clearly.

• The surrounding lenslet technology gently guides how the eye grows, addressing the root cause of worsening nearsightedness.

Clinical studies show that children who wear Stellest lenses for at least 12 hours per day experience significantly slower myopia progression - on average 71% less - compared to children wearing standard single-vision lenses.

Benefits of Stellest Lenses for Children

Parents choose Stellest lenses because they combine comfort, clarity, and proven effectiveness. Key benefits include:
 

• FDA Market Authorized for Slowing Myopia Progression: This distinction provides parents peace of mind that Stellest lenses are clinically validated and held to the highest safety and performance standards.

• Clear, Comfortable Vision: Children adapt quickly because the lenses look and function like traditional glasses while delivering powerful myopia-control benefits.

• Non-Invasive Myopia Management: No drops, no devices - just a pair of glasses your child already needs and wears daily.

• Helps Protect Long-Term Eye Health: Slowing myopia progression reduces the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration.

• Great for Active Kids: Stellest lenses are lightweight, durable, and compatible with a wide variety of child-friendly frames.
