Essilor® Stellest™ Lenses

Advanced Myopia Management for Children at Harman Eye Center

Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming increasingly common in children—and when left unmanaged, it can continue to worsen year after year. At Harman Eye Center, we are proud to offer Essilor® Stellest™ lenses, an innovative, clinically proven solution designed to slow the progression of myopia in children and help protect their long-term eye health.

Schedule a myopia management consultation today to see if Stellest™ lenses are right for your child.


What Is Myopia?

Myopia is a vision condition that causes distant objects to appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. In children, myopia often progresses as their eyes continue to grow. Higher levels of myopia are associated with an increased risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

Early detection and proactive management are key to slowing progression and supporting healthier vision outcomes.


What Are Essilor® Stellest™ Lenses?

Essilor® Stellest™ lenses are specially designed eyeglass lenses created to manage myopia progression in children. Unlike standard single-vision lenses, Stellest™ lenses use advanced optical technology to not only correct vision, but also help slow the worsening of nearsightedness over time.

Clinical studies have shown that Stellest™ lenses can slow myopia progression by an average of 67% when worn as prescribed, making them one of the most effective non-invasive myopia management options available today.


How Do Stellest™ Lenses Work?

Stellest™ lenses feature a unique optical design that includes a clear central zone for sharp vision, surrounded by thousands of tiny lens segments. These segments help manage how light is focused on the retina, reducing signals that can cause the eye to continue elongating—one of the main drivers of myopia progression.

The result is clear, comfortable vision for everyday activities while actively helping to slow myopia progression as your child’s eyes grow.

Everyone I encountered was friendly and knowledgeable. I wanted advice on my choice of glasses and the optician was so helpful in narrowing down my frame choice too."
