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.

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.

Superb service from start to finish and aim delighted with my new Oliver Peoples glasses. Shout out particularly to Sarah who was brilliant and ensured my new glasses fitted perfectly.

Excellent attention given by audiologist Luke. Having struggled with previous hearing aids from elsewhere I was given a thorough hearing test. New hearing aids were prescribed and 2 weeks later I am confident and able to hear clearly again in all situations. The follow up service is brilliant. Thank you Luke.

Well, that very comprehensive consultation and the eye tests addressed all my concerns. I have been with D&C for a number of years and the professionalism and care is excellent; cannot recommend them highly enough. Excellent, and many thanks

Thank you to Billie and the rest of the team at Dipple and Conway. For many years I have been very sceptical about taking advice from opticians in terms of styles, fits and frames but instantly it was very clear that she is extremely knowledgable about her profession. The customer service from her and the entire team is faultless. The quality of the frames and lenses are incredible. High Street brand opticians have their place in the world but there is absolutely no comparison to a professional company like Dipple and Conway. These folks are in a completely different league. Thank you all. I love my new glasses!

I have been using the Dipple & Conway Norwich branch for several years now and I can't sing their praises enough. Always excellent professional service, with staff who are highly trained and knowledgeable. I have been given the best advice for my needs and therefore, a prescription to match. There are various options available, depending on your preferences for testing - I generally take the full package, including a scan etc. as the best technology is used here. Not only that, they have a select range of frames and sunglasses from well chosen brands, with something for everyone in the latest designs and styles. The dispensing team has been helpful, as I was so indecisive. Always a calm and relaxed environment, it is a pleasure to visit!

D and C make you feel like a valued customer. Their VCP is confidence inspiring as if there is a problem you are given an appointment so promptly. My fortnightly contact lenses are so very comfortable and give me extremely good vision considering the shortcomings of my natural sight. From the welcome at reception to the personalised care shown by both Aaron and Deborah I always feel in very professional and approachable hands. Am I their longest standing client having had my first glasses from them 64 years ago?

My husband and I have recently become customers of Dipple & Conway. We both needed new glasses, also my husband additionally new contact lenses. Our service there has been outstanding. We worked with Billie, on our 3 visits. Billie is wonderful. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable and super friendly. We both love our new glasses. I highly recommend Dipple & Conway, and their fabulous assistant Billie.

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.
