Exciting news for myopia control! We are always exploring new ways to slow myopic (near-sighted) progression throughout childhood. Essilor's Stellest lens is a fascinating new option that hopes to reduce progression by an average of 67%. In the past, we have used various tools including multifocal contacts, bifocal/progressive glasses, and even low dose dilation agents. Stellest is different. It comes in as a single vision option (kids can still accommodate or zoom in/out as normal), but offers peripheral zones that are "defocused" to discourage growth of the length o the eyeball. Sorry to dork out with terminology, but it's fun to have more tools to play with in the search for better vision. Should be available very soon. Stay tuned!
