FAQ - Stellest Lenses in Diamond Bar, CA

​​​​​​​How do Stellest lenses differ from standard eyeglass lenses?

Standard single-vision lenses only correct refractive blur, leaving peripheral light focused behind the retina. Stellest lenses correct central distance vision while using surrounding microscopic lenslets to signal the eye to slow its axial elongation.

Who is a good candidate for Stellest lenses?

Stellest lenses are ideal for children and teenagers with progressive myopia, particularly younger kids or those who prefer glasses over contact lens therapies such as Ortho-K or daytime soft contacts.

How many hours per day should my child wear Stellest lenses?

To achieve optimal clinical results, children should wear their Stellest glasses for at least 12 hours a day, every day, during all regular daytime activities.

Is there an adjustment period for children?

Most children adapt within 2 to 3 days. The lenslets are virtually invisible, allowing for clear, natural vision across school, reading, and outdoor tasks without noticeable optical distortion.
​​​​​​​

Can my child wear Stellest lenses during sports and physical activities?

Yes. Stellest lenses are crafted from impact-resistant polycarbonate, making them lightweight, shatter-resistant, and suitable for active play. We help pair them with secure, durable frames tailored for sports and recess.

How do you track treatment progress?

We monitor prescription stability, frame alignment, and ocular health every 6 months to confirm that the lenses are fitting correctly and effectively managing progression.

How long will my child need to wear Stellest lenses?

Children typically continue wearing myopia management lenses throughout their peak growth years (often through the mid-to-late teens) until eye elongation and refractive changes naturally stabilize.
​​​​​​​

How much do Stellest lenses cost?

The total investment depends on your child’s prescription requirements, frame choice, and applicable vision insurance coverage. Following your consultation, our optical team provides a transparent, itemized estimate.
