Efficacy of Myopia-control Lenses in a Population of Young Adults : the OPTIMA Study (OPTIMA)

August 31, 2026 updated by: Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild

Efficacité de Verres de Freination Myopique Dans Une Population de Jeunes Adultes

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if myopia-control eyeglass lenses (Essilor® Stellest® 2.0) can slow down the progression of short-sightedness (myopia) in young adults, compared with standard single-vision lenses. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does wearing Stellest® 2.0 lenses slow the increase in eye length (axial length) after 1 year, compared with standard lenses? Does wearing Stellest® 2.0 lenses reduce the change in glasses prescription and the occurrence of eye complications after 2 years, compared with standard lenses? How well do participants tolerate the Stellest® 2.0 lenses in the first weeks of wear? Researchers will compare Stellest® 2.0 myopia-control lenses to standard single-vision lenses to see if they reduce the worsening of myopia.

Participants will:

Wear either the study glasses or standard glasses every day, at least 12 hours a day, for 2 years Attend an eye exam and vision check at the start of the study, after 1 year, and after 2 years Complete three phone check-ins during the first 3 months to report on comfort and how well they tolerate their glasses

Study Overview

Status

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
134

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
  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Spherical equivalent (SE) measured under cycloplegia using an autorefractometer, within the range 4 D ≤ SE ≤ -0.75 D for each eye
  • Not currently receiving, nor having received, any preventive treatment for myopic progression in the 12 months prior to inclusion (orthokeratology, soft defocus contact lenses, low-concentration atropine eye drops, corrective spectacles with peripheral defocus)
  • Myopic progression of at least -0.25 D in at least one eye during the year prior to inclusion (measurements documented by autorefractometer, with or without cycloplegia, or via previous optical prescriptions) or documented progression of axial length of +0.1 mm during the year prior to inclusion
  • Primary optical correction via spectacles (occasional use of contact lenses if applicable) or agreement to wear spectacles for at least 12 hours a day, every day
  • Enrolled in or a beneficiary of a social security scheme
  • Signed informed consent to participate in the study by the adult patient or by a person with parental authority for minor patients

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Confirmed syndromic myopia or findings suggestive of syndromic myopia
  • Obvious strabismus or significant heterophoria
  • Corrected visual acuity < 8/10 in at least one eye
  • A history of eye surgery (excluding eyelid surgery) in at least one eye
  • Hyperopia or non-myopic astigmatism
  • Anisometropia, i.e. a marked difference in correction between the two eyes
  • Advanced retinal disease in at least one eye, such as myopic maculopathy
  • Specific visual impairments in at least one eye requiring personalised treatments other than conventional corrective lenses
  • Intolerance to optical corrections (conventional lenses or lenses with peripheral defocus)
  • Patients subject to legal protection measures
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Participation in another interventional clinical trial (drug clinical trial)

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 myopia-slowing lenses
Device: Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 myopia-slowing lenses
Essilor® Stellest® 2.0 myopia-slowing lenses will be worn continuously throughout the day for the two-year follow-up period of the study, i.e. from the time the eyewear (lenses and frames) is dispensed until the end of the follow-up period. It is recommended that the eyewear be worn for at least 12 hours a day, every day.
Active Comparator: standard lenses
Device: Standard lenses
Standard lenses (Airwear single-vision lenses) will be worn continuously throughout the day during the two-year follow-up period of the study, i.e. from the time the eyewear (lenses and frames) is issued until the end of the follow-up period. It is recommended that the eyewear be worn for at least 12 hours a day, every day.

What is the study measuring?

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.
