More children are getting myopia at younger ages – partly due to a rise
in sedentary indoor lifestyles and an increasing amount of time spent
in near activities. The younger a child develops myopia, the further it evolves,
the higher it becomes. Even with corrected lenses, their daily life may be impacted after a few months.
Studies showed that high myopia may lead to vision impairment that can no longer be corrected through standard lenses. It can even increase risk of ocular complications later in life.
Myopia may impact children’s well-being and development
Most of children are equipped with standard lenses, however those lenses only correct myopia but the eyes keep growing and so myopia progression as well.
Essilor® Stellest® lenses correct myopia but also control its progression, with no compromises.
Essilor® Stellest® slow down myopia progression by 67% on average compared to single vision lenses, when worn 12 hours a day***
