New Myopia Control in Cypress: Stellest® Lenses Are Here!
Eyes On Cypress is proud to offer a breakthrough solution for managing childhood myopia: Stellest® lenses. Unlike traditional glasses that only correct vision, Stellest® lenses actively slow the progression of myopia, preserving your child’s long-term eye health. This innovative lens is now available to families in Cypress and surrounding communities who want more than just a stronger prescription each year.
What Is Myopia and Why Does It Matter?
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is an eye condition that tends to get worse over time—especially in children. When myopia progresses, it increases the risk of serious eye diseases later in life, including glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration.
Our eye doctor, Dr. Erin Pitts O.D., believes in treating the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. And that’s exactly what Stellest® lenses are designed to do.
How Stellest® Lenses Help Control Myopia
Unlike standard eyeglasses that simply correct blurry vision, Stellest® lenses actually help slow the progression of myopia in children. They do this using a constellation of “smart” lens segments (called H.A.L.T. technology) that send a signal to the eye to reduce elongation—the process that makes myopia worse over time.
These lenses are:
- Clear and comfortable, just like regular glasses
- Clinically proven to slow myopia progression by an average of 67%
- Safe, non-invasive, and easy to wear
Stellest® lenses allow your child to see clearly and protect their future vision—without any added daily maintenance or complicated routines.
Is Your Child a Candidate?
Stellest® lenses are ideal for children who:
- Have been diagnosed with myopia (even mild cases).
- Are experiencing frequent prescription changes.
- Spend long hours doing up-close activities like reading, homework, or screen time.
- Have parents or siblings who are also nearsighted.
If your child has ever squinted at the whiteboard, moved closer to the TV, or struggled to see at recess, they may benefit from a myopia control program with Stellest® glasses.
