ReviewLow-Concentration Atropine Eye Drops for Myopia Progression.
Atropine eye drops is an emerging therapy for myopia control. This article reviews the recent clinical trials to provide a better understanding of the use of atropine eye drops on myopia progression. ⋯ Low concentration atropine is effective in myopia control. The widespread use of low-concentration atropine, especially in East Asia, may help prevent the myopia progression for the high-risk children. Further investigations on the rebound phenomenon following drops cessation, and longer-term individualized treatment approach should be warranted.
