Effectiveness of 0.01% Atropine Sulfate Solution in Controlling of Myopia Progression in Children

Summary

Increasing number of myopic children and significant complications of high myopia enhance the necessity of effective control strategy. Instillations of low-dose atropine have been shown to reduce myopia progression in Asian populations but its effect in non-Asian populations is still unclear. This open prospective study with historical control is designed to investigate if 0.01% atropine can reduce myopia progression in Russian children, taking into account a change of difference between manifest and cycloplegic refraction, as well as, myopia progression rate at the time of recruitment.
