ZEISS MyoCare vs Essilor Stellest: Myopia Control Lenses for Children
Questions or ready to visit our District 1 store?
If your child’s short-sightedness gets worse every year, ask about myopia control lenses. Unlike normal lenses, which only correct blur, these spectacle lenses are designed to slow down how fast myopia progresses. The two best-known are Essilor Stellest and ZEISS MyoCare. Both are available on our ZEISS and Essilor lens pages.
How they work
Both lenses give sharp vision in the centre while the surrounding zone sends a different focus signal to the retina, which research suggests can slow eye growth. Results vary between children and depend heavily on wearing time – manufacturers recommend wearing them most of the day, typically at least 12 hours.
