How teenagers with and without myopia hold things and move when wearing different eyeglass prescriptions
Official title: Comportement Visuo-postural Des Adolescents Myopes et Non Myopes (CALYPSO)
Run by Essilor International · NCT07440134 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will test whether different eyeglass prescriptions, including Stellest lenses, change how close teenagers hold objects and how they move during everyday near tasks.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are French-speaking adolescents aged 12 to 17 years and 6 months with no visual or cognitive disorders, who are either non-myopic within the specified refraction range or myopic with a prescription between -6.5D and -0.5D and who wear single-vision or Stellest lenses (Stellest wearers must have used them for at least two months).
✕Probably not a fit
Those unlikely to benefit include people outside the 12–17.5 age range, those with eye disease or cognitive impairments, non–French speakers, and individuals who cannot attend in-person visits at the Paris site.

What this trial studies
This observational study compares three groups of 12- to 17.5-year-old adolescents: non-myopic teens, myopic teens wearing single-vision lenses, and myopic teens wearing Essilor Stellest lenses. Participants first receive an optometric exam and then return for a motion-capture session while doing everyday near tasks, during which eye-to-object distance and postural movements are measured. The investigators will compare average working distances and posture metrics across the three groups to see if lens type is associated with different visual or postural behavior. The study is conducted at a single site in Paris and is sponsored by Essilor International.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If results show lens type affects working distance or posture, the findings could help clinicians and families choose lenses that reduce close viewing behaviors linked to eye strain or myopia progression.
How similar studies have gone: Myopia-control lenses such as Stellest have demonstrated effectiveness at slowing myopia progression in previous clinical trials, but using motion-capture to compare working distance and posture across lens types is a relatively new application.
