Did you know some eyeglass lenses are designed to help slow childhood nearsightedness (myopia)?
Essilor Stellest® lenses correct a child’s vision and have a clear center surrounded by tiny lenslets. The lenslets create a special focus pattern that may help slow myopia progression. The FDA has authorized them to slow progression in children who begin treatment between ages 6 and 12.
Wolf Eye Center offers Stellest lenses. If your child is nearsighted, ask our eye care team whether they may be an appropriate option. Stellest lenses don’t cure myopia or guarantee that progression will stop.
