Essilor Stellest™ Lenses for Myopia Control in Rockville Centre, NY

Why Slowing Myopia Progression Matters

Standard glasses correct blurry distance vision, but they don’t address the underlying eye growth that can cause myopia to worsen year after year. As myopia increases, long-term eye health risks can rise as well. Managing myopia early may help slow prescription changes during childhood and support more stable vision into adulthood.

If your child’s prescription seems to increase frequently, it may be time to discuss myopia control options.

What Are Essilor Stellest™ Lenses?

Essilor Stellest™ lenses are advanced spectacle lenses created for myopia control, not just vision correction. They use Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target (H.A.L.T.) technology designed to help slow excessive eye growth—a key driver of progressive myopia.

Clinical studies have shown Stellest™ lenses can slow myopia progression by an average of up to 67% compared to standard single-vision lenses.^*

Key Benefits of Stellest™ Lenses

• FDA-approved option for myopia control in children
• Non-invasive—worn like everyday glasses
• Designed to look and feel like regular eyewear for most children
• Often a great fit for kids who aren’t ready for contact lens-based options
• Commonly recommended for children ages 6 and up

Is Stellest™ Right for Your Child?

Essilor Stellest™ lenses may be a good fit for children who are diagnosed with myopia and whose prescriptions are increasing over time. During a comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Galan can evaluate your child’s vision, prescription history, and daily habits to determine whether Stellest™ lenses are appropriate as part of a personalized plan.

Stellest™ as Part of a Personalized Myopia Plan

Myopia control isn’t one-size-fits-all. Stellest™ lenses may be used as a standalone solution or alongside other management strategies—depending on your child’s needs, risk factors, and progression rate. The goal is to protect vision not just for today, but long-term.
