At the 2025 China International Import Expo, EssilorLuxottica unveiled a major update to its Stellest platform. The new launch includes more effective Stellest 2.0 lenses, connected eyewear, and an early intervention strategy aimed at delaying the onset of myopia in children.
Essilor Stellest 2.0 lenses deliver improved control over axial eye elongation, the key driver of myopia. Featuring a redesigned optical architecture, they generate a stronger optical signal with double the average optical power of the previous version. Clinical trials in Singapore confirm their enhanced effectiveness in slowing myopia progression in children aged 6 to 12.
EssilorLuxottica introduces Stellest plano pair lenses, targeting children at risk of developing myopia. These lenses aim to delay the onset of the condition. An independent trial in China found that children wearing the plano lenses for over 30 hours per week showed slower axial elongation—benefits equivalent to more than two years of delayed myopia progression.
Essilor Stellest Smartglasses integrate connected technology to monitor wearing time and behavioral patterns. This data enables better compliance, which is crucial for treatment effectiveness. The smartglasses are scheduled for launch in Mainland China in Q1 2026, combining advanced lens science with digital health features.
All Stellest 2.0 innovations are first launched in China, a critical region in the global fight against childhood myopia. It serves as the primary testing and deployment ground for EssilorLuxottica, with broader international rollout planned from 2026 onward.
Practitioners now have access to a full toolkit: advanced corrective lenses, preventive options, and connected solutions. The Stellest ecosystem integrates clinical efficacy, technology, and behavioral tracking—paving the way for a more holistic and personalized approach to pediatric vision care.
Because Essilor Stellest 2.0 represents a shift from correction to proactive eye health. With 740 million children expected to be myopic by 2050, this integrated approach marks a critical evolution in pediatric eye care.
