Essilor Stellest® Lenses
Protecting Your Child’s Vision—Today and Long-Term
Myopia (nearsightedness) often progresses as children grow. As the prescription increases, the eye lengthens, raising the lifetime risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and myopic maculopathy.
Essilor Stellest® lenses are FDA-authorized and clinically proven to slow myopia progression by an average of 71% when worn as recommended.
What Are Stellest® Lenses?
Essilor Stellest lenses are specialty spectacle lenses created specifically for children with progressive myopia. They correct blurry distance vision while using advanced optical science to help control how quickly the prescription worsens.
How They Work: HALT™ Technology
Stellest lenses feature H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology:
- The lens contains a constellation of invisible lenslets arranged to create a “volume of signal” that helps slow eye elongation.
- The central portion of the lens provides crisp, clear vision—just like regular glasses.
- The outer treatment zone delivers myopia-control signals without affecting everyday visual comfort.
Benefits for Your Child

How the Treatment Works
For best results, consistency is essential. Children should wear their Stellest lenses:
- 10 hours per day
- At least 6 days per week
Consistent wear ensures the lenslets provide continuous myopia-control signaling to the eye, maximizing treatment effectiveness.
Is My Child a Candidate?
Your child may benefit from Stellest lenses if they:
- Are between 6–16 years old
- Have a progressively increasing prescription
- Spend long hours reading, on screens, or doing near work
- Have parents or siblings with nearsightedness
- Have early-onset myopia (diagnosed before age 10)
