MYOPIA AND MYOPIA
MANAGEMENT

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is a condition in which people can see clearly up close, but objects farther away appear blurred.2 It commonly occurs when a person’s eyeball is too long.2 It typically develops in children of school age and tends to progress until adulthood.

Traditional single vision lenses and conventional contact lenses correct vision but do not slow myopia progression. Myopia management, a more comprehensive approach, includes preventing or delaying myopia onset, correcting vision, slowing and monitoring myopia progression, and management over time.3

As part of myopia management, Essilor® Stellest® lenses are designed to both correct vision and help slow myopia progression in children aged 6-12 years.*1

ESSILOR®'S MOST EFFECTIVE MYOPIA MANAGEMENT LENSES†6

In 2020, Essilor® unveiled the first generation of Essilor® Stellest® lenses, slowing myopia progression by 67% on average‡7, helping millions of children worldwide. Building on the success of the previous generation, Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 lenses provide twice the power,§ higher effiacy in managing myopia progression¶6 vs Essilor® Stellest® lenses (first generation).

H.A.L.T.** TECHNOLOGY

The Essilor® Stellest® lenses have been designed with an exclusive and pioneering technology called H.A.L.T.** (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target Technology). The H.A.L.T.** technology is made of a constellation of 1,021 invisible‖ lenslets. This constellation creates a volume of myopic defocus, sending a signal to slow eye elongation and myopia progression*1.

Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 lenses provide twice the signal for slowing myopia progression,# delivering significantly better results¶6 vs the first generation of Essilor® Stellest® lenses. The enhanced efficacy of Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 lenses is supported by clinical trial results.6
