Learn how Stellest technology supports effective, non-invasive myopia control.
How Stellest Lenses Work
Stellest lenses utilize a revolutionary technology that employs thousands of invisible lenslets surrounding the clear central vision zone.
Mechanism of Action: The primary goal of myopia control is to slow down the elongation of the eye (axial length). Stellest achieves this through its specialized Highly Aspheric Lenslet Target (H.A.L.T.) design:
Clear Central Zone: The center of the lens provides clear, sharp vision for the current prescription.
Peripheral Treatment Zone: The surrounding 11 rings contain micro-segments that create a volume of signal to control peripheral focus. This specific focus gently redirects light to fall in front of the retina, which signals the eye to slow its growth.
Studies have shown that this continuous, simultaneous defocus signal significantly slows down the rate of both eyeball elongation and myopia progression.
Benefits and Suitability
Effective Control: Proven to be highly effective at controlling myopia progression in children.
Non-Invasive: Treatment requires no change to daily routines other than wearing spectacles.
Clear Vision: The design ensures that the child maintains clear vision for school, sports, and daily activities.
Ages: Typically recommended for children aged 8 and older.
The Treatment Process
Starting Stellest requires a comprehensive eye exam to determine the best treatment path. Once dispensed, compliance is critical; the child must wear the glasses for a minimum of 10 hours a day, every day. Our program includes mandatory follow-up appointments every 3 to 4 months to meticulously monitor the eye’s growth using specialized instruments and ensure the treatment remains optimized.
