OAKHURST, NJ - December 10, 2025 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

Eye Group, a boutique optometry practice in the heart of Monmouth County, has announced it is now offering Essilor® Stellest® spectacle lenses: the first and only FDA-approved spectacle lenses designed to slow the progression of myopia in children. Located at 780 West Park Avenue in Oakhurst, Eye Group is integrating this breakthrough lens into its pediatric myopia management services as part of its full-spectrum care model.

Stellest® lenses represent a significant advancement in childhood myopia treatment. In clinical studies, these lenses demonstrated a 71% reduction in myopia progression over a two-year period when compared to traditional single-vision lenses. As a result, families now have access to an evidence-backed, non-invasive solution that addresses both current vision correction and long-term eye health outcomes.

“As with any progressive condition, early intervention is the key to better outcomes,” said Dr. Tyler Lesko, O.D., partner at Eye Group. “Myopia management isn’t just about giving kids new glasses each year. It’s about supporting long-term visual outcomes.”

“Our goal is to combine compassionate care with advanced solutions,” said Dr. Lesko. “The addition of Essilor® Stellest® lenses reflects our commitment to providing families in Monmouth County with technologies that don’t just correct vision, but actively help manage childhood myopia. This is a meaningful step in our mission to protect young patients’ long-term eye health.”

Eye Group has long emphasized early intervention as a key component of myopia care. The practice offers tailored myopia management programs for children and teens, which may include a combination of specialty contact lenses, atropine drops, and now Stellest® lenses. This multimodal approach gives the clinical team greater flexibility to match each patient’s visual needs and lifestyle.

The availability of these lenses comes at a critical time. Rates of pediatric myopia are rising nationwide. This trend is largely attributed to increased screen time and reduced outdoor activity. When left unaddressed, myopia often progresses year over year, increasing a child’s dependence on stronger prescriptions and raising the long-term risk for conditions such as retinal detachment and glaucoma.

Stellest® lenses feature a constellation of aspherical lenslets that slow the elongation of the eye, which is the root cause of myopia progression. At the same time, they include a single vision zone that corrects nearsightedness, providing clear vision and comfortable wear. The lenses do not require behavior changes or maintenance, making them a particularly accessible option for parents seeking a low-barrier myopia solution.

Families interested in Stellest® lenses can schedule a comprehensive myopia evaluation at Eye Group. Appointments include a full risk assessment and vision analysis, along with individualized care planning tailored to each child’s needs.

Parents concerned about their child’s vision are encouraged to schedule a myopia evaluation today.

Eye Group is currently accepting both new and existing patients for myopia consultations. To schedule an appointment or learn more about Essilor® Stellest® lenses, visit www.ravineeyecenter.com or call (732) 641-6907.
