THE LEAD
BY GIVING
CHILDREN VISION
FOR THEIR FUTURE
We can’t let myopia jeopardize our
children’s development any longer.

As a long-established world leader

in eyeglass lenses, Essilor® has led the way
in cutting-edge innovation and pioneering
science to deliver an unprecedented solu-
tion for a growing concern that is affecting
lives of more and more children. Teams from
all over the world shared their expertise in
order to find the best technology to protect
myopic eyes.

Essilor® unveils StellestTM lenses,

a genius innovation to fight
myopia progression which may
lead to high myopia.
 OUR CIVILIZATION IS FACING
A GROWING HEALTH PROBLEM:
MYOPIA
MORE AND MORE YOUNG PATIENTS
ARE DEVELOPING MYOPIA
While genetics imply that myopia or short-
sightedness is often handed down from
generation to generation, lifestyle changes,
like more time spent indoors and on screens,
are making it increasingly common(1).
Prevalence of myopia is growing at an
alarming rate.
By 2050, half the world’s population, five
billion people, will be myopic and nearly a
billion people will be highly myopic(1).

MYOPIA IMPACTS CHILDREN’S

WELL-BEING AND DEVELOPMENT

HOW DOES
IT WORK?
1. CORRECT IMAGE FOCUSED
ON THE RETINA
WITH THE SINGLE VISION ZONE BRINGS SHARP VISION

The single vision zone carries the wearer’s

prescription and brings sharp vision
by focusing light on the retina. The lens
design ensures a large prescription zone,
which guarantees good visual acuity and
comfort for the wearer.

2. CONTROL
WITH H.A.L.T.(1) TECHNOLOGY
Essilor® went a step further to help control myopia by creating
H.A.L.T (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology, a unique
innovation tailored to the myopic eye.
The constellation of 1021 lenslets spread over 11 rings was
designed to create for the first time a volume of signal that
slows down the elongation of the eye.
In children, whose eyes are still developing, this volume of signal
allows us to keep the eye elongation process in check.

Light rays cross the constellation and create a volume of

non-focused light in front of the retina, following its shape.
This signal allows us to slow down the eye elongation.

HOW TO PRESCRIBE & DISPENSE
STELLEST™ LENSES?

HOW TO INTRODUCE STELLEST™ LENSES

When it comes to myopia, correcting your child’s eyesight

today won’t necessarily protect them tomorrow. Myopia
can still worsen with time and greatly affect their vision in
the future.

Stellest™ lens is Essilor’s best solution to fight your

child’s myopia and its strong efficacy has been clinically
proven.

• Essilor® Stellest™ lenses slow down myopia progression

by 67% on average, compared to single vision lenses,
when worn 12 hours a day(1).

• After the first year, the eye growth of 9 out of 10 children

wearing Stellest™ lenses was similar or slower than non
myopic children(2).

• Moreover, 2 out of 3 children who wore Stellest™ lenses

have had a stable need in vision correction after the first
year(2).
