FDA approves Stellest lenses to slow myopia in kids ages 6–12, reducing progression by 71%.
The FDA has approved Essilor Stellest eyeglass lenses for children aged 6 to 12 with myopia to slow its progression.
The lenses use a design with peripheral lenslets to create light defocus, reducing eye elongation.
Clinical trials showed a 71% reduction in myopia progression and 53% less eye lengthening over two years compared to standard lenses.
No serious side effects occurred, though some experienced temporary blurriness or halos.
This is the first non-contact lens option for children as young as 6, offering a safer, more accessible alternative to existing treatments.
