The future of pediatric eye care has arrived. EssilorLuxottica’s Stellest lens, now FDA market authorized, is revolutionizing how we manage childhood myopia. With clinical data showing a 71% reduction in myopia progression over two years12, this innovative spectacle lens is poised to become the gold standard for eyecare professionals and concerned parents alike.
🔍 What Is the Stellest Lens?
The Stellest lens is the first and only FDA-authorized spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 6 to 12. Unlike traditional corrective lenses, Stellest uses HALT technology—a constellation of 1021 tiny aspheric lenslets arranged in concentric rings—to create peripheral myopic defocus, a proven method to reduce eye elongation3.
📈 Why Stellest Is a Game-Changer
Clinically Proven: Slows myopia progression by 71% on average over two years12
Safe and Non-Invasive: Unlike contact lenses or eye drops, Stellest is a low-risk option with no known adverse events2
FDA Market Authorized: Recognized as a Breakthrough Device, now approved for U.S. distribution1
Earlier Intervention: Suitable for children as young as six, even those unable to wear contact lenses2
🌍 Tackling the Global Myopia Epidemic
By 2050, half the world’s population is expected to suffer from myopia, with 740 million children at risk1. Stellest offers a proactive solution, empowering families to take control of their children’s eye health early.
🛒 Availability and Adoption
Following its successful international rollout, Stellest lenses will be available to U.S. eyecare professionals in the coming weeks. Millions of children worldwide are already benefiting from this technology14.
