If your child’s glasses prescription keeps getting stronger year after year, you’re not imagining it. Wilmington Eye Care Optometry now offers Stellest™ lenses, a breakthrough in myopia control that looks and feels just like regular glasses, but helps protect your child’s long-term vision.
Stellest™ Lenses for Myopia Control in Wilmington
help slow myopia progression
Stellest™ lenses are designed to correct your child’s blurry distance vision while helping slow the progression of myopia. What makes Stellest™ special is its innovative H.A.L.T. technology, which creates a unique pattern of defocus signals that gently tells the eye to slow its growth. This matters because myopia happens when the eye grows too long, and slowing that process can reduce the risk of future complications. The best part? Stellest™ lenses look just like regular lenses. No thick edges, no extra effort, no change to your child’s routine.
How Do Stellest™ Lenses Work?
Think of Stellest™ like pressing the brakes on your child’s changing prescription. The lens contains a constellation of tiny lens segments that work together to create a "myopia control zone", sending signals to the eye that help regulate its growth.
Clinical studies show that Stellest™ lenses can slow myopia progression by up to 67% compared to single-vision lenses when worn consistently.
There’s no surgery, no daily drops, and no contact lenses involved. Just comfortable, wearable glasses that support clear vision today and healthier eyes tomorrow.
Who Are Stellest™ Eyeglass Lenses For?
Stellest™ lenses are designed for children and teens with myopia. Not every child is the same, and that’s okay. We’ll help you understand whether Stellest™ lenses are appropriate for your child’s eyes and vision needs. They may be a good option if:
Your child’s nearsightedness has been progressing year after year.
You want a non-invasive, glasses-based option for myopia control.
Your child prefers glasses over contact lenses.
You’re looking for a solution that fits into their routine.
Your child squints, sits close to screens, or struggles to see the board at school.
