For children with progressive nearsightedness who prefer eyeglasses, Essilor Stellest™ lenses offer a comfortable, non-invasive way to correct daytime vision while actively slowing myopia progression. At Diamond Bar Optometric Center, we provide personalized fitting and ongoing monitoring to protect your child’s developing eyesight.
Proven to be effective in a number of studies, we offer non-invasive treatments of customized contact lenses and special prescription eye drops:
Myopia occurs when the eyeball elongates slightly too quickly from front to back (axial elongation) during childhood growth spurts. While standard single-vision lenses sharpen distance blur, they do not provide the peripheral optical cues needed to slow that elongation. Left unmanaged, progressive myopia can lead to high prescriptions and substantially increases the lifetime risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic maculopathy. Managing eye growth early helps reduce these long-term risks.
Stellest lenses utilize H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology, a dual-action optical design engineered specifically for growing eyes:
Lens Zone | Function & Clinical Mechanism |
Central Vision Zone | Provides clear, sharp distance vision with single-vision prescription accuracy for classroom and distance tasks. |
H.A.L.T. Lenslet Array | A constellation of 1,021 invisible aspherical lenslets across 11 concentric rings creates a volume of light in front of the retina, providing a constant optical signal that slows eye elongation. |
● Familiar & Non-Invasive: Children wear them exactly like traditional eyeglasses—no contact lens insertion, removal, or daily disinfection required.
● Seamless Adaptation: Most children adjust within a few days, enjoying crisp sight during school, sports, reading, and screen time.
● Clinically Proven Results: Research demonstrates substantial slowing of axial elongation and prescription change when worn for the recommended 12+ hours daily.
● Durable & Child-Friendly: Made from impact-resistant polycarbonate material that fits securely into kid-friendly frames.
