La nouvelle génération de la prise en charge de la myopie
En 2020, Essilor® a lancé la première génération de verres Essilor® Stellest®, qui ralentissent la progression de la myopie de 67 % en moyenne, venant ainsi en aide à des millions d'enfants à travers le monde.
Fort du succès de la génération précédente, les verres Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 offrent une efficacité doublée, ralentissant la croissance de l'œil 1,88 fois plus qu'avec la génération précédente.

The evidence behind every claim
The mention "twice the power" refers to a depth of unfocused light volume (by design) twice (or more) greater than that of Essilor® Stellest® lenses, and is not associated with a doubling of lens power, microlens power or efficiency.
Based on the 12-month results of a prospective, randomized, double-blind, contralateral crossover clinical trial conducted in Singapore on 50 children.

No significant difference in distance BCVA between Essilor® Stellest® and Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 lenses when looking through the central zone of the lens (Drobe B, et al. Effect of increased power and asphericity of lenslets in myopia control spectacle lenses on short-term visual performance. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2025;66:2144).
When viewed through the peripheral zone of the aspheric microlenses, no significant difference was observed between Essilor® Stellest® and Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 lenses for high-contrast, low-contrast, and low-contrast near visual acuity (VA). (EssilorLuxottica. Internal data. 2025. Impact of increased microlens power and asphericity on the short-term visual performance of myopia control lenses.)
Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 lenses are made of AIRWEAR® polycarbonate which offers impact resistance and blocks 100% of UV transmission.

HALT stands for Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target and does not mean that the progression of myopia is "stopped" or "blocked".

Blue Light Explained
FAQs
Blue light glasses are designed with a specialized lens treatment that helps filter a portion of blue-violet light emitted by digital screens, LED lighting, and other everyday sources.
While blue light is naturally present in sunlight and plays an important role in regulating our sleep-wake cycle, many people spend long hours in front of digital devices. Blue light lenses can help reduce exposure to certain wavelengths of blue light associated with screens.
Many wearers report improved visual comfort during extended screen use, especially when working on computers, tablets, or smartphones throughout the day.
Blue light protection can be added to most prescription and non-prescription lenses, making it an easy upgrade for anyone who spends significant time using digital devices.
Blue light is a type of visible light with a shorter wavelength and higher energy than many other colors in the visible spectrum.
It is naturally emitted by the sun and is also produced by digital devices such as smartphones, computers, tablets, televisions, and LED lighting.
Not all blue light is bad. In fact, exposure to natural blue light during the day helps support alertness, mood, and healthy sleep-wake cycles.
The concern for many people comes from prolonged exposure to digital screens, particularly during evening hours, when excessive screen use may contribute to visual discomfort or interfere with normal sleep patterns.
Current research has not established that everyday exposure to blue light from digital devices causes permanent eye damage.
However, spending long periods looking at screens can contribute to symptoms commonly associated with digital eye strain, including:
- Tired eyes
- Eye discomfort
- Dry eyes
- Blurred vision
- Headaches
- Difficulty maintaining focus
These symptoms are often linked to extended screen use rather than blue light alone.
Blue light lenses may help improve visual comfort for some individuals, particularly those who spend many hours each day using digital devices. Regular eye exams also play an important role in identifying vision issues that may contribute to eye strain.
Blue light plays an important role in regulating the body's natural sleep-wake cycle.
Exposure to blue light during the day helps promote alertness and supports healthy circadian rhythms. However, screen use late in the evening may interfere with the production of melatonin, the hormone that helps signal to the body that it is time to sleep.
For some individuals, reducing screen time before bed or using blue light filtering lenses may help support more comfortable evening device use.
If you frequently use smartphones, tablets, or computers at night, blue light lenses may be a useful addition to your overall sleep hygiene routine alongside other healthy habits, such as limiting screen time before bedtime and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule.
Blue light lenses are designed to support visual comfort in today's digital world.
Potential benefits may include:
- Increased comfort during prolonged screen use
- Reduced visual fatigue associated with digital devices
- Less glare from screens and LED lighting
- Improved viewing comfort throughout the workday
- An easy lens enhancement for frequent device users
Whether you work at a computer, attend virtual meetings, study online, or spend time on your phone throughout the day, blue light lenses can be a practical addition to your eyewear.
During your eye exam, your FYidoctors optometrist can help determine whether blue light protection is right for your lifestyle and visual needs.
