About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to learn whether different types of eyeglasses prescription and different types of lenses change how close teenagers hold objects when looking at them up close. The study includes adolescents who are non-myopic and adolescents who are myopic and wear either single-vision lenses or lenses slowing down myopia progression.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Do teenagers in these three groups use different average working distances (eye-to-object distance) during everyday tasks?

Does wearing Essilor® Stellest® lenses change working distance compared with wearing single-vision lenses?

Researchers will compare the three groups to see if their working distances differ.

Participants will:

Complete an initial optometric eye examination.

Come for a second visit where they perform everyday activities while wearing a motion-capture system that measures how they move and how far they hold objects.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Volunteer adolescent, fluent in French, able to follow protocol and read and write

Aged between 12 and 17 years and 6 months

Adolescent with no history, according to the participant and/or their legal representatives, of any pathology, deficit, or disorder that could interfere with visual or cognitive functions.

If the subject wears glasses, they must have an ophthalmic prescription dated within the last year, certifying that a consultation was carried out during the previous year

Disqualifiers

Age < 12 years

Age > 17 years and 6 months

Pregnant or breastfeeding women (Article L1121-5)

Persons (legal representatives or subjects) deprived of their liberty by a judicial or administrative decision and persons hospitalized without consent pursuant to Articles L. 3212-1 and L. 3213-1 who are not covered by the provisions of Article L. 1121-8 and persons admitted to a health or social care facility for purposes other than research

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Ophtalmic measurements

    Device

    Participants will undergo a standard ophthalmic examination during the initial visit. All procedures are non-invasive, non-ionising, and conducted using devices routinely employed in clinical ophthalmic practice.

  • Visuo-postual measurements

    Behavioral

    The behavioral part of the study consists of a set of tasks designed to assess eye movements and visual behavior in both controlled and ecological conditions. Participants perform everyday activities while eye movements and body motion are recorded using an eye tracker and motion capture systems.

Treatment groups

100 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: non-myopic teenagersExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Group B: myopic teenagers wearing Essilor® Stellest® lensesExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Group C: myopic teenagers wearing single vision lensesExperimental treatment 2 interventions
