👀 Did you know?
Myopia (nearsightedness) affects 1 in 3 children in the U.S., and that number is expected to rise to 1 in 2 by 2050. If left unmanaged, myopia can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including glaucoma and retinal detachment.
At Surf City Optometry, we’re excited to offer Stellest Myopia Control Lenses, a clinically proven solution designed to slow the progression of myopia while giving your child clear, comfortable vision all day long.
🔬 How Stellest Lenses Work
• Uses HALT technology: over 1,000 micro-lenslets arranged in 11 rings around a clear central zone
• Creates a “volume of defocus” on the retina to slow eye elongation — the main cause of myopia progression
• Central vision stays sharp thanks to the 9 mm clear zone
• Kids adapt quickly, often feeling comfortable full-time in just a few days
📊 Proven Results
• 67% slower myopia progression in children wearing Stellest vs. standard lenses
• 53–71% less eye growth (axial elongation) over 2 years
• Long-term studies (6 years) show 1.95 D less myopia and 0.81 mm less eye elongation — a 57% reduction in progression
• FDA-authorized for safe pediatric use
⏳ Why It Matters
• Children’s eyes can change quickly, especially at younger ages
• Uncontrolled myopia increases future risks: retinal detachment, glaucoma, and other eye conditions
• Stellest lenses help protect their vision today AND in the future
