We’re excited to now offer Essilor® Stellest® lenses: an advanced lens designed to not only correct nearsightedness (myopia) in children, but also help slow its progression over time. Using innovative lenslet technology, Stellest lenses gently manage how light focuses on the eye to support healthier visual development.

👓 They’re worn just like regular glasses, making them an easy, non-invasive option for everyday use.

👉 Ask your child’s eye doctor if Stellest lenses could be a good option for them.

Do your eyes often feel dry, irritated, or uncomfortable?
This can be a sign of dry eye: a condition where your tear film isn’t stable enough to keep your eyes healthy, leading to redness, irritation, and fluctuating vision.

Our Dry Eye Center at our Short Pump office focuses on finding the root cause and creating a personalized plan for long-term relief.
