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.

Like many professional services, it often is the case who you are dealing with. I saw Maciek and he is first-class. However, I would not see anyone else regarding dispensing (previous experience). Dipple & Conway are very fortunate to have him.

I had a great experience at Dipple & Conway. Una was incredibly kind, thorough, and helpful in assisting me with a very specific prescription. Phil was also very helpful and supportive throughout the process. I really appreciated the time, care, and professionalism from the whole team. Highly recommend!

Great service! So professional, sweet and patient.
John Kemp9. May, 2026
I have been using Dipple and Conway for eye care and glasses since 2019 and have received nothing but exceptional service from Michaela and all of the optometry and dispensing staff. I have a reasonably complex prescription; the glasses I have bought have given me noticeably better vision than those dispensed by other opticians over the 40+ years I have worn glasses full time. The improvement was quite a shock! Aftercare with minor issues has always been flawless and extremely timely. More recently I visited the new audiology department for a hearing test which I was quite nervous about. I was looked after by Olly, and once again received the outstanding level of service and care which I have become used to with Dipple and Conway. Olly guided me through the whole process with a perfect combination of professionalism, knowledge and good humour. Whilst it is true that Dipple & Conway are not cheap, the quality of care and service offered is absolutely worth the investment.

Today was the first time I’ve been to Dipple & Conway and the first time in twelve years I’ve had my eyes checked. Every single person I dealt with was so lovely and helpful, absolutely worth the investment. I can’t wait to get my glasses next week!

A fantastic experience during my recent eye test, alongside purchasing new glasses. Such friendly and helpful staff, who really go the extra mile. Will be coming back many more times in the future.

The well-known phrase, “the price is forgotten while the quality remains” Could not be more true for this opticians. Absolutely impeccable service from start to finish. First class advice and the best custom after-care I’ve ever experienced from any opticians for over 30 years. Maciek is a super person to deal with and I highly recommend.

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.
