Stellest is a brand of vision correction lenses designed for myopia (nearsightedness) control in children. They are a type of ophthalmic lens that slows eye growth and the worsening of myopia, with one study showing they reduce myopia progression by at least half compared to single-vision lenses. Stellest lenses are the first myopia management lenses with FDA market authorization in the United States.
How Stellest lenses work
Myopia control: Stellest lenses are designed to slow the progression of myopia in children by addressing the underlying cause: the eye growing too long.
Eye growth: Research indicates that these lenses slow eye growth by at least half compared to single-vision lenses.
Myopia progression: A five-year study showed that Stellest lenses reduced the worsening of myopia by 1.75 diopters (7 steps).
Versatility: Stellest can be a versatile option, as they can start myopia control in children with long-sightedness, not just those who have already developed myopia.
Key features
FDA authorization: In the US, Stellest lenses are the first myopia management ophthalmic lenses to receive FDA market authorization.
Proven efficacy: The FDA authorization followed a two-year study that demonstrated their efficacy in slowing myopia in children.
