Study Summary

This trial will study the effects of microdosed atropine on myopia progression, administering the solution daily for 48 months. Eligible subjects will be re-randomized at the 36 month visit and followed for an additional year.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for kids with near-sightedness (myopia) between -1.00 to -6.00 diopters and astigmatism up to 1.50 diopters in both eyes, without significant vision differences between the eyes or other eye conditions. They shouldn't have had any eye surgery, be allergic to atropine, or use certain types of glasses/lenses.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if microdosed Atropine solutions (0.01% and 0.1%) can slow down myopia progression in children compared to a placebo solution over four years with regular check-ups every six months after the first year.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include light sensitivity due to pupil dilation, difficulty focusing on close objects, dry eyes or mouth, headache, and an allergic reaction if sensitive to atropine.
