Auricular Acupressure Reduces Rebound Effects After Discontinuation of Atropine

Summary

0.01% atropine is an effective measure for controlling myopia in children and is widely used in Asia for this purpose. However, there is a phenomenon of rebound and worsening of myopia after discontinuation of the medication. Auricular acupressure (AA) is gaining attention as a complementary therapy for myopia control. However, there is a lack of rigorous studies evaluating the effectiveness of AA in reducing rebound after discontinuing atropine eye drops in myopic children. Our study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of AA in reducing rebound after discontinuing atropine in myopic children.
