    New results on Essilor Stellest™ lens to be presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO 2021) Pivotal two-year clinical trial results demonstrate that Essilor Stellest™ lens slows down myopia progression by 67%1 These results focusing on Essilor Stellest™ lens will be presented for the first time internationally at the occasion of the 2021 Annual Meeting of the ARVO (Charenton-le-Pont, 9 April, 2021) – Essilor will unveil the pivotal two-year clinical trial results of its Stellest™ lens - its latest breakthrough spectacle lens solution in the fight against myopia. The much-anticipated two-year results demonstrate that Essilor Stellest™ lenses slow down myopia progression by 67% on average, when compared to single vision lenses, when worn at least 12 hours a day1. The presentation of this research entitled “Myopia control with spectacle lenses with aspherical lenslets: a 2-year randomized clinical trial”, will be delivered at the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the ARVO, on May 6th, 2021, by BAO Jinhua2, Associate Professor at Wenzhou Medical University, China. In 2018, Essilor’s research and development team initiated a three-year state-of-the-art clinical trial on 167 myopic children3 in its joint Research and Development Center shared with key partner, the Wenzhou Medical University, in China. This research illustrates Essilor’s commitment to fight poor vision and to find concrete solutions to slow down myopia progression in childhood. The results of this study demonstrate compelling evidence that Essilor Stellest™ lenses are one of the most effective options available for slowing down myopia progression in children today.
