How Stellest H.A.L.T. Technology Works
Essilor Stellest lenses feature H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology — a constellation of 1,021 invisible micro-lenses embedded across the lens surface. Each micro-lens creates a volume of signal light in front of the retina, producing a consistent myopic defocus that tells the eye to slow its growth.
Unlike standard single-vision glasses that only correct distance blur, Stellest lenses simultaneously provide sharp central vision and a controlled peripheral signal that discourages axial elongation. This dual function makes them the most effective spectacle lens ever studied for myopia control.
In a two-year clinical trial, children wearing Stellest lenses experienced 67 percent less myopia progression compared to those wearing standard single-vision lenses. This is the strongest slowing result published for any spectacle lens to date — making Stellest an outstanding option for children who are not candidates for or do not want contact lenses.
No contacts required: Stellest lenses deliver powerful myopia control in a standard glasses format — making them the easiest treatment for children and parents to adopt.
