Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Children aged 6 to 16 with progressive myopia meeting inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with strabismus, amblyopia, or syndromic myopia, or those not meeting progression criteria, may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is an observational pilot that looks at real-world use of Essilor Stellest myopia-control lenses in children aged 6 to 16 with progressive myopia. The study focuses on how easily children adjust to the lenses and how comfortable they are during everyday wear, aiming to understand long-term wear compliance. It does not involve a randomized intervention or new treatment, but rather monitors naturalistic outcomes in a clinical setting. Data collected include wear time, comfort, and basic refractive/axial length considerations as part of routine follow-up. The findings could inform clinicians about practicality and adherence to this optical approach in everyday life.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could confirm good tolerability and adherence to Stellest lenses, supporting their use in slowing myopia progression.
How similar studies have gone: Previous optical myopia-control approaches have shown promise in real-world adherence, making this a relevant, though observational, step.
