Myopia Can Lead to Blindness – Save Your Child’s Vision with Stellest™ Lenses

Myopia (nearsightedness) is no longer just about blurry distance vision—it’s one of the fastest-growing childhood vision conditions worldwide. Today, 1 in 3 children already struggles with myopia, and by 2050 nearly half of the world’s population is expected to be affected. Progressive myopia isn’t just about stronger glasses every year—it can lead to serious eye conditions and vision loss if left untreated.

At EyeXpert Optical in Brampton, we understand parents’ concerns. That’s why we offer advanced treatment lenses for myopia, specifically designed for children, using Stellest™ Myopia Control Lenses by Essilor.


What is Myopia?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects remain clear. It occurs when the eyeball grows too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.

Signs of myopia in kids:

  • Squinting to see distant objects like the classroom board

  • Sitting very close to screens or books

  • Complaining of blurry distance vision or frequent headaches

Why it matters: Early-onset myopia progresses faster, increasing the risk of high myopia and serious eye conditions in adulthood.


Stellest™ Lenses – Advanced Treatment Lenses for Kids

Unlike standard glasses, Stellest™ treatment lenses for myopia are designed to slow the progression of myopia while providing clear vision for daily activities.

  • HALT Technology: Over 1,000 tiny lenslets arranged in 11 rings create a “myopic defocus” signal to control eyeball elongation, which is the main cause of worsening myopia.

  • Clear Central Vision: A sharp central zone ensures children see clearly in school, sports, and everyday life.

  • Clinically Proven Results: In studies, children wearing Stellest™ lenses for at least 12 hours per day showed up to 67% slower progression compared to single-vision lenses.

  • Kid-Friendly: Non-invasive, easy-to-wear glasses designed for children, with no need for drops or contact lenses.
