Stellest® Lenses in Liberal

Stellest® lenses give children a glasses-based option for clear vision and myopia management. Rather than simply making distant objects clearer, these advanced spectacle lenses are designed to help slow the progression of nearsightedness while your child’s eyes are still growing.

Dr. Ryan Farrar and Dr. Liz Fieser take time to listen to your concerns, explain every option clearly, and recommend a plan based on your child’s prescription, eye health, routine, and comfort level. As the only providers in the area offering myopia management, they give local families access to advanced options with the personal attention they deserve.

Why consider myopia management?

Nearsightedness can change quickly throughout childhood, and simply updating a glasses prescription does not address the progression itself. Myopia management gives families a proactive way to respond when a child’s vision continues to change.

“Myopia develops in childhood as the eye grows. Kids developing myopia will show progressive change between the ages of 5 and 18 and this is the critical period to intervene.”

— Dr. Fieser

A pediatric eye exam gives us the opportunity to evaluate your child’s vision and discuss whether a myopia management plan may be appropriate.

How Stellest lenses work

Stellest lenses correct blurry distance vision while incorporating Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target, or H.A.L.T., technology. The lenses include a clear central vision zone surrounded by 1,021 lenslets that create a signal called myopic defocus. This design is intended to help slow excessive eye growth, a key factor in myopia progression.

In a two-year clinical study, Stellest lenses slowed myopia progression by an average of 71% compared with standard single-vision lenses.1

“Today, we can do more than simply correct blurry vision—we can actively manage myopia and work to change where that child’s vision ends up as an adult.”

– Dr. Farrar
