# Essilor Stellest Airwear Tint — sun-tinted myopia-control lenses

Stellest Airwear Tint are spectacle lenses with H.A.L.T. technology and a class 3 (85%) sun tint. Children should spend at least two hours a day outdoors to slow myopia — Tint keeps myopia control running in the sun: the child wears them like regular sunglasses while the eye keeps receiving the "braking" signal. In Kazakhstan the lenses are fitted and mounted at ALIV opticians in Astana and Almaty.

## What Stellest Tint is

The sun-tinted version of Stellest myopia-control lenses: the same H.A.L.T. technology — rings of aspherical microlenses creating a "braking" optical signal in front of the retina — with a class 3 tint (85% absorption) and the Crizal Sun XProtect coating.

Designed as a second pair alongside clear Stellest: outdoors the child wears Tint like regular sunglasses, and myopia control never pauses.

## Why sun lenses matter for myopia control

Time outdoors is an independent factor in myopia prevention: children are advised to spend at least two hours a day outside. Yet in bright sun clear glasses beg to come off — leaving the eye without the "braking" signal exactly during those recommended hours.

Stellest Tint closes that gap: 100% UV protection (UVA/UVB), sun comfort and continued myopia control at once.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why a sun version when clear Stellest exists?

Children need 2+ hours outdoors daily, and in the sun clear glasses come off — pausing control. Tint is the outdoor second pair: the same H.A.L.T. signal plus tint and 100% UV protection.

### Which tints are available?

Six: Physio Grey, Physio Brown, Grey, Blue Purple, Grey-Green, Violet — all class 3 (85% absorption).

### Can they be worn at dusk or in the evening?

Class 3 tinted lenses are not intended for dark conditions — clear Stellest is the evening pair.

### What is the prescription range?

SPH 0…−6.00 D, CYL 0…2.00 D, diameters 65/70 mm. For stronger prescriptions the ophthalmologist will suggest clear Stellest 2.0 (to −12.00 D).

### Where can I buy Stellest Tint in Kazakhstan?

At ALIV salons in Astana (36B Bukhar Zhyrau) and Almaty (35A Satpayev), or online at aliv.kz. Fitting, measurements and mounting happen in the salon.

### Is the frame included?

A frame up to 20,000 ₸ is bundled; pricier frames cost 50% of their price. The eye exam is free and mounting is included.
