Stellest® Lenses at Dr Elmalem and Associates
Many parents know this moment well. Your child holds books close or squints at things far away. Suddenly, you know it is time for an eye exam. While getting glasses is a big first step, managing myopia (nearsightedness) goes beyond clearer vision.
That is why we are proud to offer Stellest® lenses here at Dr Elmalem and Associates in Newmarket and Richmond Hill. These lenses not only correct vision but also help slow down the progression of myopia, providing your child with long-term vision benefits.
What are Stellest® Lenses?
Stellest® spectacle lenses are a new type of corrective lens designed specifically for children with myopia. Stellest® lenses do more than regular glasses; they help your child see clearly and slow down myopia progression. They look and feel just like regular lenses—no bulky inserts or strange-looking features—making them easy for children to wear at school, play, or anywhere life takes them.
How Stellest® Lenses Help Control Myopia
Vision correction is just part of the story. Stellest® lenses guide the eye's development and help control myopia's progression. Thanks to advanced lens technology, they provide clear vision while supporting healthier eye growth. Here is a closer look at what makes them effective.
HALT Technology
Stellest® lenses use Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target (HALT) technology. Each lens contains tiny, invisible focus points built right into it. These little focus points send special signals to your child’s eye, helping to guide how it grows. The goal is to slow down the eye’s tendency to become more nearsighted over time—while keeping vision crisp and clear.
Dual-Zone Functionality
The lenses are cleverly designed with two main zones. The center of the lens corrects your child’s vision just like regular glasses. Surrounding this center is the treatment zone, where the HALT technology works, helping slow down eye elongation, the leading cause of myopia progression.
Comfortable and Easy to Wear
Even though the technology is advanced, Stellest® lenses look and feel just like ordinary lenses. They are lightweight, comfortable, and fit into your child’s regular frames, making it simple for them to wear during school, sports, or any daily activity without fuss.
