Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To confirm the clinical security and effectiveness of the daily application of 0.01% superdiluted atropine eyedrops in the progression of myopia in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 200 children 9-12 years of age were randomised into a treated group and a control without treatment. Refraction under cycloplegia was performed. RESULTS: Myopia progression of the treated group was -0.14+/-0.35 versus -0.65+/-0.54 in the control group without treatment. Only 2% of patients were forced to stop treatment due to side effects. CONCLUSION: Atropine superdiluted atropine 0.01% eyedrops is effective and well tolerated, and reduced myopia progression by 25%.
