[quote=Anonymous]I just looked up Stellest. They are new since my DS started MiSight 2-3 years ago. The clinical data look good, and they got breakthrough approval from FDA.

How much are they quoting for these lenses? FWIW, MiSight was $1k the first year and $700 a year afterwards. Prices might change depending on the office you go to.

IMO, MiSight has been like a miracle. My DS' prescription hasn't changed since he started wearing them. He was a little young at 7 yo, so if Stellarest had been around, I might have done that first and then MiSight later if he got sick of glasses as he got older. The technology is the same - concentric circles of different refraction - it's just glasses vs. contacts. I can see how fitting the glasses could be more difficult because there are differences in head shape, where the glasses sit, etc. Whereas with contacts, they sit on the eye surface so there is less variability between people.

Let us know how it goes, OP. As someone with -12 contacts and -14 glasses, I am fascinated by this technology.[/quote]
