Now, thanks to Essilor Stellest lenses, it is possible to control the progression of myopia. The earlier your child's myopia progression is controlled, the less impact it will have on their eyesight in the long run. With Stellest lenses, see your children grow, not their myopia.

Zeiss MyoVision Pro Lenses

ZEISS MyoVision design applies the principles of Peripheral Defocus Management: the correction of the peripheral “hyperopic shift” affecting myopic eyes sends a signal to the eye to reduce the progression of eye elongation, which can result in the reduction of myopia progression.1

Available lens options include DuraVision Blue protect coating (Blue light protection) and/or PhotoFusion (Quick transitioning lenses from clear to dark when exposed to sun/UV)
