Clinical Study on the Effectiveness of Diverse Segments Defocus Optimization in Spectacle Lenses for Slowing Myopia Progression

December 23, 2025 updated by: Mengtian Kang, Beijing Tongren Hospital

Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of two types of Diverse Segments Defocus Optimization (D.S.D.O.) spectacle lenses in slowing myopia progression in children. It will also assess the safety of these lenses. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Do D.S.D.O. lenses reduce the progression of myopia as measured by changes in cycloplegic refraction and axial length? What adverse events do participants experience when wearing D.S.D.O. lenses? Researchers will compare two optical designs of D.S.D.O. lenses (Intervention Group1: Design 1; Intervention Group2: Design 2) to determine their relative efficacy in controlling myopia progression.

Participants will:

Wear assigned D.S.D.O. lenses daily for 12 months (except during sleep or unavoidable situations).

Attend clinic visits at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months for comprehensive eye examinations.

Maintain a diary recording daily wear time, visual symptoms, and any adverse events.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Multi-lens zoning myopia defocus Lens 1 (D.S.D.O)
Device: Diverse Segments Defocus Optimization (D.S.D.O.) spectacle lenses
This clinical trial employs a randomized, parallel-group, superiority design to evaluate two novel optical designs of Diverse Segments Defocus Optimization (D.S.D.O.) myopia management spectacle lenses. A total of 60 myopic Chinese children, aged 6 to 14 years, will be recruited and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of two intervention groups. Both groups will receive myopia control spectacles: the Control Group will use D.S.D.O. Lens Design 1, and the Intervention Group will use D.S.D.O. Lens Design 2. Participants are required to wear the assigned spectacles daily for the entire 12-month study duration, except during sleep or other unavoidable circumstances. The spectacles are intended to provide full refractive correction for distance vision while simultaneously incorporating defocus modifications designed to slow myopia progression by manipulating peripheral retinal defocus patterns. The study includes a baseline visit, a dispensing visit, and follow-up assessments at 3, 6, 9
