Essilor® Stellest®
The Essilor® Stellest® lens with H.A.L.T.* Technology is considered a first-line option for slowing myopia in children. Clinical trials lasting two, three, and five years have shown strong results, with children benefiting from both clear distance vision and effective myopia control. The effect is even stronger when the lenses are worn every day for at least 12 hours. Stellest® lenses have been shown to work better than older designs such as progressive addition and bifocal lenses, making them one of the most effective myopia control spectacle lenses available.
*H.A.L.T. = Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target
