Stellest® Lenses for Myopia Management in Lomita

A Glasses Option That Does More Than Correct Vision

If your child’s vision keeps getting blurrier each year, you’re not alone. Myopia, or short-sightedness, often progresses throughout childhood and can increase the risk of future eye health issues if left unmanaged.

Stellest® lenses are a specially designed glasses option that may help slow down this progression; making them a great choice for families who prefer a glasses-first approach to myopia control.

They offer the simplicity of everyday wear, with technology that works in the background to support your child’s vision development.

What Are Stellest® Lenses?

Stellest® lenses are worn just like regular glasses, but they’re made with a dual purpose:

• Correcting blurry distance vision
• Managing the progression of myopia over time

The lens design includes a myopia-correcting center surrounded by a unique optical structure called HALT technology, designed to send a gentle signal to the eye that helps reduce the tendency for excessive elongation (which causes worsening myopia).

Your child sees clearly and comfortably, while the lenses work quietly in the background—all without needing to remember drops, insert contact lenses, or change routines.

Who Is Stellest® Ideal For?

Stellest® may be a good fit for children who:

• Already wear glasses and want to stick with them
• Are not yet ready for contact lenses like MiSight® or Ortho-K
• Prefer a low-maintenance option; no drops, no removals
• Are active in school, sports, or screen time and need consistent vision correction

Notably, not every child is a candidate. We’ll assess their prescription, age, and myopia progression during a myopia management evaluation.

How Stellest® Compares to Other Myopia Options

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to myopia management, and what works best depends on your child’s age, prescription, and lifestyle. Stellest® lenses are ideal for families who want a glasses-based option that’s easy to wear during school, sports, and screen time.

Unlike contact lenses such as MiSight®, which require daily insertion and removal, Stellest® lenses fit seamlessly into a child’s routine without added steps.

Ortho-K lenses, worn overnight, offer freedom from glasses during the day but involve more hands-on care. Low-dose atropine drops, another option, may appeal to families seeking a non-glasses solution, but require consistent nightly use.

At Premier Vision Care Optometry, we’ll help you compare each option and choose the approach that best fits your child’s needs and comfort.

What to Expect at Premier Vision Care Optometry

Stellest® lenses are part of our broader myopia management program, and not just a one-time prescription.

Here's what the process looks like:

1. Myopia Evaluation We begin with a comprehensive eye exam and myopia progression assessment, including axial length and prescription monitoring.
2. Lens Fitting and Dispensing If Stellest® lenses are a good fit, we’ll order and dispense them with proper adjustments for daily wear.
3. Ongoing Follow-Up Myopia management is a program. We’ll monitor your child’s vision and progression over time, adjusting the plan as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my child notice anything different when wearing them?

• No. Stellest® lenses look and feel like regular glasses. Most kids adjust quickly and don’t notice a difference beyond clear vision.

How long until we know if it’s working?

• We typically monitor changes every 6–12 months. The goal is to reduce how quickly the prescription is increasing—not to stop or reverse it.

Can my child still do sports or activities?

• Yes. Stellest® lenses are designed for everyday use, including school, sports, and screen time.

Do these replace regular glasses?

• Yes. Stellest® lenses provide both vision correction and myopia control in one pair of glasses.
