Are you looking a safe and non-invasive way to slow down your child’s nearsightedness? Stellest 2.0 by Essilor and MyoCare by Zeiss are innovative lenses mounted on a regular glasses frame for nearsightedness control.
Stellest 2.0 by Essilor
Essilor Stellest® 2.0 lenses are next-generation spectacle lenses designed to correct vision while helping slow the progression of childhood myopia (nearsightedness). They use advanced optical technology that creates a specific light pattern to signal the eye to slow its growth—the main cause of worsening myopia.
The lenses feature a clear central zone for normal vision surrounded by thousands of tiny lenslets that generate controlled defocus across the peripheral retina, helping reduce the speed at which a child’s prescription increases. The Stellest 2.0 design improves on the original Stellest lens with enhanced H.A.L.T. MAX technology, delivering a stronger optical signal intended to further slow eye growth while maintaining clear everyday vision.
Myocare by Zeiss
Zeiss MyoCare more than two decades of basic and clinical research incorporating 1) cylindrical annular refractive elements, C.A.R.E. technology – aimed at delivering a “stop signal” to slow the progression of axial elongation. It consists of alternating defocus and correction zones in ring-like pattern on the front surface, expanding towards the periphery of the lens and 2) ZEISS ClearFocus design – aimed to remove the “growth signal” the optimised back surface delivers the refractive correction as well as intended myopic defocus of the patient for all gaze directions.
There are two versions of the Myocare customized to you child’s growing eyes. MyoCare is recommended for children younger than 10; while MyoCare S is recommended for children 10 or older.
Summary
Both of these peripheral defocus spectacle lenses are
- Easy to wear – thin and lightweight lenses worn like other traditional glasses
- Effective – slowing down nearsightedness progression
- Safe – lenses are made with impact resistant and uv protecting materials
- Clinically proven – by intensive research and evidence-based studies
- Can be combined with low dose atropine therapy
These features make peripheral defocus lenses an excellent choice for children in terms of safety. We now have another tool in our arsenal to slow down your child’s nearsightedness.
