Myopia Treatment for Kids with Stellest® Glasses

Every year, your child’s glasses get stronger. You update the prescription, but the problem keeps growing. Sound familiar? Stellest® lenses give us a better way forward by helping slow the actual progression of myopia, not just correcting it.

At Advanced Family Eyecare, we offer Stellest® glasses as part of a long-term plan to protect your child’s vision right here in NW Oklahoma City.

What Is Myopia and Why Does It Matter?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, means your child can see up close but has trouble seeing clearly at a distance, like reading the whiteboard at school or spotting the ball on the field. It’s caused by the eye growing too long, and unfortunately, it tends to get worse as kids grow.

But here’s the bigger concern: progressive myopia can increase the risk of serious eye diseases later in life, like retinal detachment, glaucoma, or macular degeneration. That’s why simply updating glasses every year isn’t enough—it treats the symptom, but not the underlying problem.

How Stellest® Lenses Help Slow Myopia Progression

Stellest® lenses are a breakthrough in myopia management. Developed by Essilor and backed by over 20 years of research, these glasses help your child see clearly, and they’re clinically proven to slow how quickly myopia worsens.

Here’s how they work:

• The lenses use a special constellation of invisible lens segments that gently signal the eye to grow at a healthier rate.
• At the same time, they provide clear central vision, so your child can wear them just like regular glasses at school, at home, and at play.
• Studies show Stellest® lenses can reduce myopia progression by up to 67% when worn consistently*.

A Kid-Friendly, Parent-Approved Solution

For many families, Stellest® lenses are a great option when:

• Contact lenses (like MiSight® or ortho-k) aren’t the right fit.
• Atropine drops aren’t preferred due to daily application.
• You want a comfortable, easy-to-wear option that fits into your child’s routine.

The best part? Stellest® lenses look just like standard glasses. No strange designs, no complicated routines; just a smart, science-backed way to help protect your child’s long-term vision.

FAQs about Stellest® Lenses

How are Stellest® lenses different from regular glasses?

Stellest® lenses correct blurry vision like traditional glasses, but they also include a unique design that helps slow the progression of myopia.

At what age can kids start using Stellest® lenses?

Most children can start using Stellest® lenses around age six or older, depending on their prescription and eye health.

Will my child have to wear these forever?

Myopia typically progresses until the late teenage years or early twenties. Stellest® lenses are designed to manage myopia during the growing years, when it tends to worsen most quickly. We’ll monitor progress regularly and adjust their treatment plan over time.

Can Stellest® lenses be used with other treatments like atropine drops or ortho-k lenses?

Yes! In some cases, combining treatments, such as using low-dose atropine drops at night and Stellest® lenses during the day, can provide added benefits. We’ll help determine the best strategy based on your child’s needs.

How do I get started?
