Effect of a Myopia Control Lens on the Astigmatism in Children (MAC)

September 3, 2026 updated by: Essilor International

A Monocentre, Single-Arm Trial to Study the Effect of Lens Inspired by Myopia Control Solutions on the Astigmatism of a Child

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate over a one-year period the effect of myopia control spectacle lenses on astigmatism in children aged 6 to 13 years with myopia and astigmatism.

The main question it aims to answer is:

- How does the eye respond at each timepoint to the myopia control lenses?

By evaluating: the change in astigmatism (cylinder) after one year?

Participants will:

Wear the assigned study spectacles daily

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Myopia Control Lens Prototype

Each participant will be fitted with a prototype lenslet-based spectacle lens to be worn continuously throughout the 12-month study period. Following the baseline and dispensing visit, participants will undergo follow-up assessments at 3, 6, and 12 months. These intervals will monitor change of myopia and astigmatism through standard refraction and ocular biometry measurements.

Device Details:

The myopia control spectacle lens utilized in this study features a lenslet-based design (incorporating a highly aspherical lenslet configuration). The lenses will be dispensed and worn daily for the duration of the 12-month evaluation period.

Device Details:

The myopia control spectacle lens utilized in this study features a lenslet-based design (incorporating a highly aspherical lenslet configuration). In this specific device, the lenslet are located in concentric rings.
