Children's lens options
Choosing children's lenses
All of our children's glasses are made to the highest standards of safety and come with scratch-resistant lenses as standard. Often a child's prescription or lifestyle makes trading up to a speciality lens a much better option.
1. Two-year prospective, controlled, randomized, double-masked clinical trial results on 54 myopic children wearing Stellest® lenses compared to 50 myopic children wearing single vision lenses. Results based on 32 children who declared wearing Stellest® lenses at least 12 hours per day every day. Bao, J. et al. (2021). One-year myopia control efficacy of spectacle lenses with aspherical lenslets. Br. J. Ophthalmol. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjophthalmol-2020-318367.

*Higher power refers to the increased depth of volume of non-focused light in front of the retina—twice that of Essilor® Stellest® lenses by design—and is not associated with a doubling of lens power, lenslet power, or efficacy.

†Based on 12-month results from a prospective, randomized, double-masked contralateral crossover clinical trial conducted in Singapore on 50 myopic children. The estimated cumulative 12-month axial length change (eye growth) was 0.228 mm with Essilor® Stellest® lenses and 0.121 mm with Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 lenses. The 1.88× ratio reflects the relative difference between these values (1 / [0.121 / 0.228] = 1.88)
