Essilor Stellest Lenses: A Myopia Control Glasses Option
Specially designed glasses lenses that correct distance blur and are designed to help slow worsening nearsightedness over time—without drops or contacts.
What are Stellest lenses?
​
Essilor Stellest lenses are not standard glasses lenses. They correct your child’s vision like normal glasses, but they also include a specialized design intended to help slow down how quickly nearsightedness progresses.

Stellest FAQs
Are these just “anti-fatigue” or blue light lenses?
No—Stellest is a specific myopia-control lens design, not a standard coating.
Do they work if my child only wears glasses sometimes?
They work best with consistent wear. We’ll set realistic goals and help with routines.
Can Stellest be combined with atropine?
Sometimes, yes. We’ll recommend combinations only when it makes sense for your child.
