Essilor Stellest Lenses

Book Appointment

Essilor Stellest lenses are Essilor’s most advanced solution for myopia control in children, and they are now available at Urban Optique & Eyecare in Chandler, AZ. Clinical trials have shown that after two years, Stellest lenses can slow myopia progression by an average of 67% when worn for at least 12 hours per day, making them one of the most effective options in modern pediatric myopia management. 

The Stellest lens design includes a clear single-vision zone for everyday vision and a dedicated myopia-control zone powered by H.A.L.T. technology (Highly Aspheric Lenslet Targets). This technology creates a “volume of non-focused light” in front of the retina—an optical signal shown to reduce eye elongation, the primary driver of childhood myopia progression. Each lens contains 1,021 contiguous aspheric lenslets arranged in 11 precision rings to deliver consistent, targeted myopia-control performance. 

For the best results, we recommend that children wear Stellest lenses throughout their waking hours. In Essilor’s clinical study, the 67% reduction in myopia progression was observed in children who wore the lenses at least 12 hours daily.

Despite their advanced design, visual clarity is comparable to standard single-vision lenses. Trial results show that 90% of children fully adapted within three days, and 100% adapted within one week. Additionally, 94% of children reported excellent comfort, making Stellest a highly child-friendly option for long-term use.

Aesthetics are never compromised: the advanced H.A.L.T. technology is virtually invisible. When paired with Crizal Rock anti-reflective coating, Stellest lenses look and feel just like premium single-vision lenses—clear, thin, and discreet. 

As with all children’s eyewear, precise frame fitting is essential. When dispensing Stellest lenses at Urban Optique & Eyecare in Chandler, AZ, we carefully assess pantoscopic angle, vertex distance, and frame stability to ensure the child consistently looks through the central vision zone. This precision fitting maximizes both visual clarity and myopia-control effectiveness.

For families looking for effective, research-backed myopia control in Chandler, Arizona, Essilor Stellest lenses at Urban Optique & Eyecare offer one of the most advanced solutions available today.
