EssilorLuxottica has received market authorization from the Food and Drug Administration for a lens that aims to slow myopia progression in children.

The Ray-Ban owner said Thursday it now plans to make its Essilor Stellest lens available in the coming weeks for U.S. eyecare professionals. It has already launched the lens internationally.

The lens marks the first FDA market authorized spectacle lens clinically proven to slow myopia progression in children, the company said.

Myopia impacts millions, with half the world population expected to suffer from myopia by 2050, the company said. Higher levels of myopia are frequently associated with severe eye pathologies later in life.

Clinical data show the Essilor Stellest lens slowed myopia progression in children aged six to 12 years by an average of 71% over two years, compared to single vision lenses, the company said.
