HOW YOUR STELLEST CONSULTATION GOES

Four steps to slowing your child's myopia progression.

  1. 01

    CHILDREN'S EYE EXAM

    Your child's OPTYX optometrist evaluates their vision, tracks any change in myopia, and determines whether Stellest is the right treatment path.

  2. 02

    CUSTOM PRESCRIPTION

    If Stellest is recommended, we build a prescription specifically calibrated to your child's eyes.

  3. 03

    CHOOSE THE FRAMES

    Your child selects a pair of frames from our children's collection – comfortable, durable, and made to be worn every day.

  4. 04

    WEAR & MONITOR

    For best results, Stellest lenses should be worn at least 12 hours per day. Regular follow-up exams at OPTYX track progress and ensure the treatment is working.

HOW STELLEST LENSES HELP SLOW MYOPIA

Stellest lenses are designed to correct your child’s vision while also helping slow myopia progression. Their patented H.A.L.T. technology uses a constellation of highly aspherical lenslets to redirect light in front of the retina, creating a signal that helps regulate the eye’s natural growth during childhood.
