Ravine Eye Center in Wall, NJ has announced the availability of Essilor® Stellest® spectacle lenses, the first spectacle lenses with FDA market authorization for myopia management in children. The introduction of Stellest® lenses is a strategic expansion of Ravine’s pediatric myopia control services, further supporting its commitment to serving patients at every stage of life. Known for blending advanced diagnostics with down-to-earth service, Ravine Eye Center offers full-scope eye care across age groups, with a special emphasis on customized care for pediatric and adolescent patients.
“We’re proud to offer Essilor® Stellest® lenses as part of our myopia management program,” said Dr. Tyler Lesko, O.D., Partner at Ravine Eye Center. “As optometrists, we’ve seen firsthand the impact progressive myopia can have on a child’s quality of life. Having access to a proven spectacle lens that not only corrects but actively slows myopia progression gives us another critical tool in our care toolbox, and a meaningful one for families looking for non-invasive treatment options.”
Ravine’s team includes multiple optometrists with advanced training in pediatric eye care, ocular disease, and specialty lenses. Dr. Lesko’s background in myopia control helps guide the practice’s approach to managing childhood nearsightedness, a condition that has seen a marked rise in recent decades. In offering Stellest® lenses, Ravine Eye Center is taking a proactive step to help young patients avoid the long-term risks associated with unchecked myopic progression, including a higher lifetime risk of serious eye conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This elongation typically begins in childhood and can progress into the late teenage years. Although traditional glasses can correct blurry distance vision, they do not address the underlying progression of the condition. Essilor® Stellest® lenses represent a significant advancement in spectacle-based treatment by offering both vision correction and a clinically validated method for slowing axial elongation. This is the root cause of progressive myopia.
Clinical studies have shown that Stellest® lenses can significantly reduce the rate of myopia progression in children when compared to standard single-vision lenses. This technology gives providers and families a practical, well-tolerated, and effective method of reducing long-term eye health risks associated with moderate to high myopia.
The availability of Stellest® lenses supports Ravine Eye Center’s broader mission of delivering eye care that evolves alongside scientific innovation and the growing needs of its patient base. The practice has long been committed to early detection and proactive management of pediatric vision conditions. These include myopia, strabismus, amblyopia, and binocular vision dysfunction. Their optometric team uses advanced diagnostic tools to measure and monitor axial length changes—a key metric in tracking myopia progression over time.
“Stellest lenses help kids see clearly and support long-term vision health,” said Dr. Lesko. “We’ve reached a point in the field where we can take action early, personalize our treatment strategy, and reduce future risks before they become major problems. This isn’t just about vision today. It’s about safeguarding quality of life for years to come.”
Ravine’s myopia control services also include a range of other treatment options, including soft multifocal contact lenses and orthokeratology (ortho-k). Stellest® lenses are particularly well suited for younger children or those who prefer spectacle-based treatment. Because the lenses look and feel like standard single-vision glasses, they are often an ideal first-line choice for children who are new to myopia management.
Parents and guardians interested in learning more about Stellest® lenses or scheduling a myopia consultation are encouraged to contact Ravine Eye Center in Wall.
