Stellest Lenses for Myopia Control in Children

At Family Eye Care Services, we help children see clearly and protect their vision as they grow. Myopia, also called nearsightedness, happens when the eyes grow too long, making distant objects appear blurry. If it is not managed early, it can worsen over time and increase the risk of future eye health problems.​​​​​​​

Stellest lenses

Special eyeglass lenses designed to slow down the progression of myopia while giving your child clear, comfortable vision. They look just like regular glasses but use advanced optical technology to gently signal the eyes to slow their growth.

Recently, Essilor Stellest lenses became the first and only FDA market-authorized spectacle lenses proven to slow myopia progression in children. This makes them a trusted and effective option for families who want to protect their child’s long-term vision.

Why Myopia Control Matters

When myopia continues to worsen, it can increase the risk of serious conditions like retinal detachment, glaucoma and macular problems. Managing it early helps protect your child’s eyesight for the future.

Who Can Benefit
Stellest lenses are a great option for children who:

Are nearsighted and need glasses for clear distance vision
Have prescriptions that keep getting stronger each year
Are comfortable wearing glasses full time

Are members of your family myopic?
If so, don't hesitate, schedule an appointment now.

What to Expect

  • Eye Exam – We check your child’s vision and eye health to confirm if Stellest lenses are a good fit.
  • Lens Fitting – We help choose frames that fit well and ensure the lenses are positioned correctly.
  • Follow-Up Visits – We schedule regular visits to monitor progress and adjust prescriptions as needed.

Supporting Healthy Vision

Wearing the lenses every day is the best way to get results. Spending time outdoors and reducing screen time can also support healthy eye development.
