Stellest vs. Traditional Single-Vision Glasses: What’s the Difference?

Myopia is becoming increasingly common among children, and many parents are seeking solutions that do more than simply sharpen distance vision. At Eyes & Optics, we provide advanced myopia management options to help slow the progression of nearsightedness. One of the most innovative tools available today is Essilor Stellest lenses, powered by H.A.L.T. MAX (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology.

What Do Traditional Single-Vision Glasses Do?

Traditional single-vision lenses are designed with one prescription throughout the entire lens. Their job is straightforward: help your child see clearly at a distance. They are highly effective for improving clarity, but they do not control the progression of myopia. When a child wears single-vision glasses, they may see better day-to-day, but their eyes can still continue to lengthen, which is the main driver of worsening nearsightedness.

What Makes Essilor Stellest Lenses Different?

Essilor Stellest lenses in Farmington Hills, MI, available at Eyes & Optics, are specifically engineered for myopia management - not just vision correction.

Stellest lenses contain two functional zones:

•           A central zone that corrects distance vision, providing the same clarity you would expect from traditional glasses.

•           An innovative treatment zone that uses H.A.L.T. technology, a sophisticated pattern of highly aspherical lenslets arranged to control how light enters the eye.

How H.A.L.T. Technology Works

H.A.L.T. MAX (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology helps create a signal in the retina that slows eye elongation. Instead of allowing the eye to continue growing, these precisely designed lenslets gently guide light in a way that helps regulate growth. This technology makes Stellest lenses more than corrective eyewear - they are a long-term investment in your child’s ocular health.

The Benefits of Stellest Lenses for Myopia Management

Slows Myopia Progression: Clinical studies show that Stellest lenses can significantly slow the progression of myopia when worn consistently. This means less prescription change over time and a reduced risk of future eye diseases linked to high myopia.

•           Clear and Comfortable Vision: Children get crisp distance vision in the central zone, just like traditional glasses, while benefiting from advanced myopia control in the surrounding zone.

•           A Non-Invasive, Everyday Treatment: Unlike eye drops or specialty contacts, Stellest lenses fit into your child’s regular routine. They simply wear their glasses as usual.

•           Safe and Effective for Active Kids: Because there are no inserts, medications, or complicated steps, Stellest lenses are an ideal option for busy families and active children.
