Myopia, or nearsightedness, affects millions worldwide, especially children and young adults. As the condition progresses, it can lead to serious eye health issues later in life. Essilor® Stellest® lenses offer a promising solution designed to slow down myopia progression while providing clear vision.
How Essilor® Stellest® Lenses Work to Control Myopia
Stellest® lenses use a unique design based on research into how light affects eye growth. Unlike traditional single-vision lenses that only correct distance vision, Stellest® lenses create a specific light pattern on the retina. This pattern helps reduce the signals that cause the eye to elongate, which is the main factor behind myopia progression.
The lenses feature multiple tiny segments arranged in a way that gently shifts the focus of light in front of the retina. This shift tricks the eye into slowing its growth, which can reduce the worsening of myopia over time. Essilor® developed this technology after extensive studies and clinical trials, showing promising results in slowing myopia progression in children.
Benefits of Using Stellest® Lenses
Slows Down Myopia Progression
One of the most significant benefits of Stellest® lenses is their ability to slow the progression of myopia. Studies have shown that children wearing these lenses experience less increase in their prescription compared to those using standard lenses. This can lower the risk of developing severe myopia and related complications such as retinal detachment or glaucoma later in life.
Comfortable and Clear Vision
Stellest® lenses provide clear vision for everyday activities, including reading, screen use, and outdoor play. The design does not compromise visual clarity, which means wearers can enjoy sharp, comfortable vision without distortion or discomfort. This is important for children who need to focus on schoolwork and other tasks.
Easy Adaptation
Many users find Stellest® lenses easy to adapt to because they look and feel like regular glasses. The lenses do not have bulky or unusual shapes, making them suitable for daily wear. This ease of adaptation encourages consistent use, which is crucial for effective myopia management.
Who Can Benefit from Stellest® Lenses?
Stellest® lenses are primarily designed for children and young people whose myopia is still progressing. Early intervention is key to managing myopia effectively, so Dr. Atkins hopes to get as many children into our myopia management programs as possible.
Parents looking for a non-invasive, lens-based option to protect their children's eye health will find Stellest® lenses a practical choice.
Practical Tips for Using Stellest® Lenses
Regular Eye Exams: Follow the plan set by Dr. Atkins and the Essilor® development team as closely as possible for the best results.
