What is myopia?
Nothing is more important than the health and well-being of your child. Now and into the future, you want to see your child thrive. You may have noticed your child struggling to see clearly at a distance, making it harder to concentrate at school and have a fulfilling experience at play. Your child may have myopia, also called near-sightedness. If left untreated in children, it can lead to lasting vision problems.An estimated 5 billion people, or half of the global population, could be affected by short-sightedness by 2050.
Research shows that more time spent on near-work activities is
associated with a greater likelihood of myopia.
Based on Peripheral Defocus technology, Stellest design defocuses the peripheral image on the retina. This helps slow down the development of axial related myopia in children’s eyes. Early management can help slow the progression of myopia and reduce the risk of complications in adulthood.
Essilor Stellest lenses slow down myopia progression by 67% on average, compared to single vision lenses, when worn 12 hours a day.
