Essilor Stellest lenses are now available in sunglass shades and a variety of different colors.
With the increasing prevalence of myopia in children, early intervention is crucial to slowing its progression and maintaining long-term eye health, according to the company.
"Research has shown that an important strategy for reducing the development of myopia is encouraging children to spend more time outdoors."
The International Myopia Institute advises increasing outdoor time as the first lifestyle change option that could potentially reduce the development of myopia.
In addition, spending more time outdoors may also reduce the time children spend on near-vision indoor activities, which has been linked to myopia progression.
Stellest sun lenses combine advanced myopia control technology with tinted lenses that offer 100% protection from ultraviolet (UV) radiation, reducing exposure to harmful UV rays that may contribute to long-term eye health issues.
This innovation allows children to safely enjoy their outdoor activities while benefiting from a proven solution for managing their myopia, according to the company.
