Myopia Control Spectacles
Specialized myopia control spectacles — including lenses like Essilor Stellest and Hoya MiYOSMART (DIMS technology) — are prescription glasses engineered to correct vision and slow myopia progression at the same time. For families searching for myopia control glasses in NJ or Stellest lenses in Monroe Township, they are an effective contact-free option.
They are an excellent first option for younger children — as young as 6 — who are not yet ready for contact lenses. At Monroe Eye Care, Dr. Miglani evaluates each child’s prescription, lifestyle, and rate of progression before recommending a specific lens design.
How it works
Unlike standard single-vision glasses, myopia control spectacles surround the central prescription with a treatment zone made of hundreds of tiny lens segments. This creates a myopic defocus effect across the peripheral retina, reducing the signal that drives axial elongation — while your child sees clearly through the center of the lens.
In clinical trials, Stellest lenses have shown up to a 67% reduction in myopia progression, and MiYOSMART approximately 60% slowing, when worn consistently throughout the day.
