Stellest™ Lenses – Slowing the Progression of Myopia
Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a common condition in children that causes blurred distance vision. As children grow, their myopia can worsen, often leading to stronger prescriptions and an increased risk of long-term eye health issues. Stellest™ lenses are specially designed to slow the progression of myopia. The lenses act as a shield against eye elongation, offering a proactive way to protect your child’s vision against Myopia progression.
Comprehensive Eye Examination
With our Myopia Control Plan, eye exams and imaging are included.
Peace of Mind with Spare Glasses
Your child will receive two pairs of Stellest™ glasses and a pair of Stellest™ sunglasses, ensuring constant wear.
Future-Proofing
With our Myopia Control Plan, you can enjoy unlimited lens changes, guaranteeing your child always has the correct prescription as their vision evolves.
Accident-Proof
With this plan, you can get up to three replacements included.

How will these lenses help my child’s eyes?
Using innovative lens technology, Stellest™ lenses correct your child’s vision while gently managing the growth of the eye, which is the main factor behind myopia worsening. The lenses feature a clear central zone for sharp, everyday vision and a unique pattern around it that helps control how the eye grows over time. This means your child can see clearly while the lenses work in the background to slow prescription changes.
They are recommended for children aged 6 to 16 who are developing myopia, have an existing myopia diagnosis, or are experiencing its progression.

Slowing myopia progression through consistent wear
Studies show that wearing Stellest™ lenses for at least 12 hours a day can slow myopia progression by up to 67% on average, helping to reduce the need for stronger prescriptions over time. To support this, our Myopia Control Plan includes multiple pairs, spare glasses and prescription sunglasses, ensuring your child can continue wearing their lenses even when one pair is being updated or repaired. This consistency is key to maximising treatment effectiveness and protecting their long-term eye health.
Comfort and safety are also important, particularly for younger children. Stellest™ lenses are lightweight, durable, and impact-resistant. Perfect for everyday wear at school, during sports, or at home. For more active moments, we can recommend alternative options like contact lenses or protective goggles.

Why choose Stellest™ lenses?
The earlier your child begins myopia control, the more effective it can be. Stellest™ lenses are suitable for children as young as six and offer a way to take early action to protect long-term eye health. While the lenses won’t reverse myopia, they can reduce its progression, leading to fewer prescription changes and better visual outcomes into adulthood.
Having spare pairs of glasses is essential, especially for active children. Glasses can easily be lost, damaged, or misplaced, and having a backup pair means your child will never be without clear vision. This is particularly important with myopia management, where consistent wear is key to slowing progression.
Our Myopia Control Plan is £95/month over two years and includes:
- Two pairs of Stellest™ glasses
- One pair of Stellest™ sunglasses
- Up to three replacement pairs, ensuring your child always has a backup.
- Unlimited lens changes, so their prescription is always up to date.
- Full eye care, including exams, biometry scans and imaging, for complete peace of mind.

While traveling through Norwich recently my glasses needed repairing. I popped into Dipple & Conway who fixed my glasses [saving my trip ☺️👓] with excellent and friendly service. Between their service and their exciting, stylish selection of frames I would definitely become a regular customer….. if I lived on ‘this side of the pond’. 🤣

I've had only good experiences with Dipple and Conway who supply my glasses and contact lens. Professional and knowledgable, I recommend them unreservedly.

Last year I had an accident in the garden and ended up with a small piece of wood in my eye. Dipple and Conway saw me immediately for an emergency appointment and removed it. Not leaving anything to chance they also organised for me to go directly to the eye clinic at the hospital for a final check. I was so grateful that they saw me quickly and dealt with it all so well. This year I’ve had a new prescription, new contact lenses, and new glasses, all of which have been organised and handled brilliantly - service and professionalism at its very best. Whilst they’ve been around a while, Dipple and Conway are forward thinking, and like to keep up to date with their selection of quality frames and lenses. As a member of the vision care plan, it’s rather nice to benefit from a feeling that my eyes will be looked after here (in general and with free emergency appointments). I can take advantage of discounts, and also be invited to friendly social events. It’s a very big thank you and a highly recommended from me.

I really can't say enough about this opticians from the moment we walked in the staff were all very very friendly there was absolutely no pressure into buying their frames and lenses the whole buying options was very very relaxed and the choice of frames was exceptional, The manager Maciek was fantastic. Honestly I cannot fault anything about Dipple And Conway at all .I'd 100% recommend this opticians to anybody .

Dipple and Conway were previously recommended to me, but I was not willing to pay what I considered to be their rather high prices. What a mistake that was!!! Three years later, after various eye tests, three different opticians, five pairs of badly/incorrectly made varifocals and months of arguing over refunds with cheaper providers, Dipple and Conway have just delivered THE most amazing pair of glasses in one week! Their service - from start to finish - has been outstanding. The lesson learned? You really do get what you pay for and I could have saved so much time, effort and eye-strain by coming to this company in the first place. I am visiting again this week to order sunglasses. The overall costs? Approximately 20% more than anywhere else for 100% better outcomes across the board. It’s a no brainer.

I'm delighted with the service I received from Luke the audiologist today. His advice saved me a huge amount of money and stopped me buying hearing aids I don't need. Very professional, caring and helpful. Highly recommended.
FAQs
Yes, they function just like regular glasses while helping to manage myopia. They’re safe, comfortable, and suitable for everyday use.
They don’t reverse myopia, but they do slow its progression, meaning fewer prescription changes and better long-term outcomes.
Visually, they look the same. The difference is in their technology: they work discreetly to slow down myopia progression.
For the best results, consistent daily wear (at least 12 hours per day) is important as it can slow myopia progression by up to 67% on average. As a result, your child’s prescription is less likely to increase significantly over time. We’ll support you and your child through the transition to full-time use.
Myopia control doesn’t eliminate the need for glasses, but it can reduce the final prescription, often meaning thinner lenses and better long-term eye health.
We recommend check-ups every six months to monitor progress and make adjustments if needed.
NHS eye tests cover standard checks, but the Myopia Control Plan is a specialist treatment and isn’t currently NHS-funded.
A comprehensive eye exam with our optometrist is the best way to find out. We’ll assess your child’s vision and guide you on the best options for their needs.
