Stellest Lenses: Slowing Myopia Progression in Children
At Brian D Suttie Opticians, we understand the importance of comprehensive eye care, particularly for our younger patients. Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a growing concern, affecting children at an early age. It’s not just about prescribing glasses; it’s about managing the progression to ensure long-term eye health. This is why we are excited to offer Stellest lenses by Essilor, a revolutionary solution designed to slow down the progression of myopia in children.
Stellest lenses are a result of extensive research and innovation. These lenses are specifically crafted to correct distance vision while also managing the growth of the eyeball, which is crucial in controlling myopia. The technology behind Stellest lenses is grounded in how light is focused in front of the retina, which is believed to signal the eye to stop elongating. When the eye elongates excessively, it leads to a deepening of myopia.
Our eye care professionals are trained to assess and recommend the best options to suit each child’s visual needs and lifestyle. During a comprehensive eye examination, which for children is a thorough 30-minute evaluation, we check not just vision but also eye health and growth patterns. Utilising advanced tools like the OCT Screening and the iCare EIDON, we get a detailed view of the eye, which is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like myopia.
Choosing Stellest lenses means opting for a proactive approach to your child’s eye health. Slowly the progression of myopia can lead to better visual outcomes and reduce the risk of severe myopic complications later in life. At Brian D Suttie Opticians, your child’s vision is our priority. We are committed to providing the best care, utilising cutting-edge technology to ensure every child has the opportunity for healthier eyesight.
Let us help manage your child’s myopia and guide them towards a clearer future. Visit us for a detailed assessment and to learn more about how Stellest lenses can benefit your child’s eye health.
