Childhood myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming increasingly common, and for many children, their prescription continues to worsen year after year. That’s why myopia management is so important — not only to improve vision today, but to help protect long-term eye health in the future.
One of the newest and most exciting advancements in myopia control is the Essilor Stellest 2.0 lenses.
How Stellest 2.0 Works
Unlike regular glasses that simply correct blurry vision, Stellest 2.0 lenses are specially designed to help slow the progression of myopia in children.
The lenses use advanced H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology, which features hundreds of tiny lenslets built into the lens design. These lenslets create a special optical signal that helps slow down excessive eye growth — one of the main causes of worsening myopia.
Clinical studies have shown that Stellest lenses can slow myopia progression by an average of 67% compared to regular single-vision lenses when worn consistently.
The newer Stellest 2.0 design builds on this technology with an even stronger optical signal aimed at improving myopia management outcomes for children.
The Importance of Myopia Management
Higher levels of myopia can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration. Early intervention can make a meaningful difference in protecting your child’s long-term vision.
