STELLEST® LENSES

Clearer Vision Now,
Healthier Eyes Later

Now offered at Lake Lanier Eye Care — the first eyeglass lens to receive FDA authorization for slowing the advance of childhood nearsightedness.

Nearsightedness is about more than a blurry whiteboard.

Each year a child’s prescription climbs, so does their long-term risk of serious eye disease. Ordinary single-vision glasses sharpen what they see right now, but they do nothing to change the direction their eyes are heading.

Slow Your Child's Myopia

As a child’s nearsightedness worsens year after year, each increase in diopters heightens their long-term risk of developing severe eye conditions. While conventional single-vision glasses provide clear sight for today, they fail to halt the underlying progression.

Stellest® lenses offer a different approach by correcting vision immediately while simultaneously signaling the eye to slow the elongation that drives myopia forward.

Stellest® lenses do two jobs at once — they correct your child’s sight while cueing the eye to grow more slowly. That slower growth, known as axial elongation, is exactly what drives worsening myopia.

BACKED BY CLINICAL RESULTS

These findings come from a rigorous, randomized, double-masked, multi-site clinical trial, with longer-term follow-up published in peer-reviewed journals.

71%

less myopia progression over two years than ordinary single-vision lenses (FDA trial)

67%

greater slowing when the lenses are worn 12 or more hours every day

53%

slower eye elongation across the two-year FDA study

30%

lower risk of reaching high myopia over five years of wear

WHY CHOOSE STELLEST®

Stellest® lenses slot into your child’s day — classroom to playground — with no extra steps and nothing to give up.
Reading Glasses

Just Like Regular Glasses

The lenslets are all but invisible. Classmates and adults simply see a normal, stylish pair of glasses — not a medical device.

Eye Positive

Crisp Vision for Reading

A clear central zone keeps distance and near vision sharp for reading, whiteboards, and screens, so nothing gets in the way of learning.

Positive Eye

Built for an Active Kid

Worn exactly like everyday glasses — no lenses to insert, no cleaning routines, and no limits on the sports and play they love.

FDA Approved

FDA-Authorized for Myopia

The only eyeglass lens granted FDA market authorization for slowing myopia progression, supported by the highest bar of U.S. clinical evidence.
 

Kids

Biggest Impact Early On

The youngest wearers, ages 6–8, gained the most — more than 1.00D less myopia and 0.37mm less eye growth over two years compared with single-vision wearers.

Eye Progress

Lifelong Eye Health

Every diopter of myopia avoided by adulthood meaningfully lowers the lifetime risk of glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment, and myopic maculopathy.

WHO STELLEST® IS FOR

Stellest® suits many children. Our Lake Lanier Eye Care doctors weigh your child’s prescription, age, and how quickly their myopia is changing to decide whether it’s the right fit.

Ages 6–18

Made for school-age children with still-developing eyes; the earlier treatment begins, the better it tends to work.

A Confirmed Myopia Diagnosis

Children already diagnosed as nearsighted, whose prescriptions climb from one year to the next, are the strongest fit.

At-Risk (Pre-Myopia)

Newer evidence suggests Stellest® may also postpone myopia from developing in children who are at risk.

Low to High Prescriptions

Appropriate across mild to strong myopia — eligibility is confirmed at your child's consultation.

Ready for Full-Time Wear

The lenses deliver the most when they're your child's main, all-day pair of glasses.

WEARING GUIDE

Stellest® lenses slot into your child’s day — classroom to playground — with no extra steps and nothing to give up.

1

All day, every day.

Target at least 12 hours a day, seven days a week — how consistently they're worn directly drives how well they work.

2

Keep them the main pair.

These should be the glasses your child reaches for everywhere — school, home, outdoors, and activities.

3

Come in once a year.

We'll measure your child's eye length and prescription annually to check progress and fine-tune the plan.

4

Stay the course.

Myopia control is a long game — keep going as recommended, since the benefit builds year over year.

5

Reach out anytime.

If something feels off or the fit isn't right, bring them back in — we're with you through the whole journey.

“I had the best experience at Lake Lanier Eyecare! I was immediately greeted by two friendly ladies who went over my benefits and cost for the day, and it was only a moment before I was taken back to start my eye exam. Everything was explained to me fully while it was being done. It was my first time seeing Dr. Black and he was thorough, patient and answered all my questions. Great service with a personality! 100% recommend!”

STELLEST® FAQS

Common questions from parents considering myopia control for their child.
What are Stellest® lenses?
Stellest® lenses are eyeglass lenses that do two things at once — correct your child’s nearsightedness so they see clearly, and slow how quickly their myopia progresses. They use H.A.L.T. technology: a clear central zone for sharp vision surrounded by thousands of tiny lenslets. They’re worn just like ordinary glasses.
Worsening myopia is driven by the eye growing too long, known as axial elongation. The ring of lenslets around the clear center creates a gentle defocus signal that cues the eye to slow its growth, while the clear zone keeps everyday vision crisp. Over time, that slower growth adds up to less myopia.
For the best results, Stellest® glasses should be worn at least 12 hours a day, every day, as your child’s primary pair — at school, at home, outdoors, and during activities. Effectiveness is closely tied to consistent, all-day wear.
Stellest® suits a wide range of school-age children, especially those who are nearsighted and progressing year over year. It works across low to high prescriptions, and newer evidence suggests it may even help delay myopia in at-risk children. Our Sugar Hill doctors will confirm the right fit based on your child’s age, prescription, and progression.

Yes. Stellest® is the first spectacle lens to earn FDA market authorization for slowing myopia progression, which reflects a rigorous review of its safety and effectiveness. Because they’re worn like normal glasses, there are no drops, no lenses to insert, and no special hygiene routines. Keep in mind that myopia control slows progression rather than stopping or reversing it — your doctor will set clear expectations.
