Introduction
On June 11, 2026, Nikon Essilor is set to launch a groundbreaking product aimed at addressing myopia care for children, named Essilor® Stellest®. This release aligns perfectly with the 'Children's Eye Day' on June 10, a time when vision screenings at schools generate heightened awareness regarding children's vision health. Through this initiative, Nikon Essilor seeks to prompt discussions about the environmental factors surrounding children's eyesight and their daily visual experiences.
Background on Children's Visual Environment
The visual environment for modern children has evolved dramatically due to the increasing presence of smartphones and tablets in their daily lives, coupled with a significant reduction in outdoor activities. Recognizing this shift, the Essilor® Stellest® lenses have been meticulously designed using Optics' expertise accumulated over the years, incorporating unique H.A.L.T.
(Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology.
Innovative Lens Design
The lenses feature an intricate arrangement of 1,021 tiny aspherical lenslets positioned in 11 concentric circles across the lens surface. This innovative structure establishes a central zone that provides clear vision akin to single-vision lenses, surrounded by a highly aspherical lenslet zone. This design ensures comfort and usability in diverse everyday scenarios, from school to outdoor activities.
The diameter of each of these aspherical lenslets is approximately 1.1 mm, occupying about 40% of the lens surface area, contributing significantly to the visual experience.
