Myopia management patients can now choose from a selection of sun tints with Stellest lenses and Essilor has also widened the product’s prescription range globally.
Tints are available in vibrant colour options and the clear spectacle lenses have been extended to SPH (+2, -12), CYL (0, -4 depending on sphere), and SER ≤0 for sphere (0.00; +2.00).
Alan Pitcher, commercial director for wholesale lenses at EssilorLuxottica, said: ‘The idea of encouraging children to spend time outdoors has already been widely accepted within the myopia community.
'So, with this new option, we hope children will continue to wear their Essilor Stellest lenses outdoors, as it is necessary to safeguard their developing eyes, and help protect their vision for the future.
'In addition, our extended range will help equip and address a larger myopic population of children and teenagers.’
