Stellest® Lenses in Denham Springs
When your child’s nearsightedness progresses, their eyeglass prescription can become stronger year after year. Our doctors provide personalized myopia management for children in Denham Springs, including Essilor® Stellest® lenses.
Stellest lenses are FDA-authorized eyeglass lenses designed to correct blurry distance vision and help slow myopia progression in children.¹ They offer a convenient, glasses-based option for families who want to manage their child’s changing vision without adding a contact lens routine.
How Stellest lenses work
Stellest lenses use Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target, or H.A.L.T., technology. The lenses have a clear central area for sharp vision and a surrounding field of tiny lenslets that creates myopic defocus. This visual signal is designed to help slow eye elongation, a key factor in worsening myopia.
Clinical studies found that Stellest lenses slowed myopia progression by an average of 71% over two years compared with standard single-vision lenses.² Results vary, and your child’s prescription may still change as they grow.
For the best results, Stellest lenses should be worn consistently as your child’s primary pair of glasses. We will monitor their vision and prescription at regular visits, then adjust their care plan as needed.
Is Stellest right for your child?
Stellest lenses may be recommended for children who:
- Have myopia and need prescription glasses
- Are between ages 6 and 12 when treatment begins
- Have needed stronger glasses from one year to the next
- Prefer glasses or are not ready for contact lenses
- Have myopia with or without mild astigmatism
Stellest lenses fit into everyday eyeglass frames, making them a comfortable option for school, sports, and daily activities. They are designed for full-time wear, so your child does not need a separate pair of glasses for myopia management.
Personalized myopia management at Louisiana Eye Care
Your child’s treatment should fit their vision needs and daily routine. During a pediatric eye exam, our doctors will evaluate their prescription, eye health, and signs of myopia progression.
We’ll explain whether Stellest lenses are the right fit and discuss other options when appropriate, including MiSight® 1 day contact lenses and low-dose atropine eye drops. With regular monitoring and practical guidance for your family, we can help you take a proactive approach to your child’s eye health.
