Stellest Myopia Control Lens: The Myopia Control Optometrists Are Using to Slow Myopia Progression

Myopia control with Stellest glasses is transforming how eye care professionals manage nearsightedness in children. Myopia control refers to treatments designed to slow the progression of myopia over time, helping reduce the risk of serious eye conditions later in life. In this episode, Dr. Darryl Glover and Dr. Ryan Parker explain why myopia is now considered a disease and not just a prescription change. They also highlight how Stellest lenses—an FDA-approved myopia control option in glasses—use HALT technology to create myopic defocus and help slow eye growth while maintaining clear vision. This conversation breaks down how doctors can identify at-risk patients, when to introduce myopia control, and how to keep the conversation simple for parents. With a spectacle-based approach, Stellest provides an easy, non-invasive way to manage myopia without adding complexity to the patient’s daily routine. Whether you are an eye care professional or a parent, this episode provides clear, practical insight into protecting long-term vision with myopia control in glasses.
