Stellest trial results revealed

EssilorLuxottica

Third-year clinical trial results of Essilor Stellest lenses have shown they continue to exhibit strong efficacy in slowing myopia progression and axial elongation. The clinical trial was conducted in China, where 151 children from the first two years of the study were switched to spectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets while a new set of 56 children were recruited and wore single vision lenses.

Key highlights from the clinical trial include: Essilor Stellest lenses saved more than one dioptre of myopia on average over three years; children who wore Essilor Stellest lenses full-time saw a marked increase in myopia control efficacy; the lenses are effective in slowing myopia progression and axial elongation in older children.

Norbert Gorny, co-COO at EssilorLuxottica, said: “We are extremely encouraged to have such conclusive data showing that Essilor Stellest lenses continue to slow

Positive three-year data

down myopia progression in children after three years. With the growing prevalence of myopia and associated risk of ocular conditions, we are proud to be at the forefront of myopia management with our lenses to move the needle in the fight against myopia.”

All styles feature a pressure-mounted construction with thin-milling fronts in titanium, inner-dyed end tips and patterned rims.

Colour is a key focus of these new styles with gradient patterns and demi-colour expressions on rims, or mono contrasts on rims and temples.

Vision Care for Homeless People

"All funds raised go directly to those who need help. It may be just a sight test and pair of ready readers but sometimes it is the start to seeing a better future."
