Ever wondered how the Stellest lenses slow down the progression of Myopia? Remember, Myopia is a Minus Powered Prescription
Using HALT Technology, Essilor’s Stellest lens has been shown to slow down myopia progression by an average of 67%
H - Highly
A - Aspherical
L - Lenslet
T - Target
The HALT Technology essentially sends a signal to the brain to slow down the elongation of a myopic eye. The eye continues to grow with the increased use of up-close screen work, school work and exposure to UV light
Essilor performed a research study for the duration of 2 years in Wenzhou China with 54 children using the Stellest Lens, and 50 children in a standard Single Vision Lens. When worn 12 hours a day it was shown that 9/10 children in the Stellest Lens presented eye growth equal to or less than that of a non-myopic child
- 90% of children adapted to the Stellest lens within 3 days
- 100% of children adapted within a week
Who is at the highest risk of myopia development?
- Children 9 years old and younger
- Children whose parents are both myopic
- Kids who spend 0-1.5hrs a day outdoors
- Kids who spend 3+hrs a day on up-close work (outside of school hours)
- Children who have a refractive error of < +0.75 at 6-7yrs old
- Children whose Rx has progressed 1.25D or more over the last year
Feel free to inquire with our optometrists about the progression of myopia and the effectiveness of the Stellest lens in slowing it down
