Pilot Study on the Adaptation and Tolerance of Essilor® Myopia-control Spectacle Lenses (STELLAR)

June 23, 2026 updated by: Nantes University Hospital
This observational pilot study aims to evaluate the adaptation and tolerance of Essilor® Stellest® myopia-control spectacle lenses in children with progressive myopia. The objective is to assess real-life compliance and comfort during lens wear, as these factors are essential for long-term therapeutic adherence and overall visual health outcomes

Detailed Description

Myopia is a refractive error in which light rays from distant objects focus in front of the retina, resulting in blurred distance vision. It is most commonly caused by an elongation of the axial length of the eye. Myopia has become a major public health issue of the 21st century, with estimates suggesting that nearly 50% of the global population will be myopic by 2050. High myopia significantly increases the risk of serious ocular complications, including glaucoma, early cataract, myopic maculopathy, retinal tears, and detachments. Myopia typically begins in childhood and tends to appear earlier and progress faster than in previous generations, with onset now occurring around 6-7 years of age instead of 12-13. Early detection and appropriate optical correction can have a substantial impact on a child's academic performance and quality of life, as good vision is closely linked to both. Progressive myopia, a form that worsens over time, requires active management to slow or halt its progression and prevent high myopia. Among available approaches, optical devices such as Essilor® Stellest® lenses have shown promise in myopia control. However, their real-world effectiveness depends not only on optical performance but also on the child's ability to adapt to and tolerate the lenses, which directly influences daily wear time and long-term compliance. This observational study therefore focuses on evaluating the adaptation and tolerance of Essilor® Stellest® lenses prescribed to children with progressive myopia in routine clinical practice.

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
