This study tests whether a very low-dose atropine eye drop (0.01%) can safely slow down worsening nearsightedness in children. It is for kids ages 3 to 12 who are already nearsighted but haven't used other myopia control treatments before.
This study tests whether atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness in children. It is for children whose nearsightedness is getting worse quickly and who have not tried other treatments.
This trial tests two low-dose atropine eye drops (0.01% and 0.02%) to see if they can safely slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. Your child would receive either one of these drops or a placebo (an inactive drop) once daily for up to 2 years.
This trial studies using low-dose atropine eye drops to help slow worsening nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It may help kids whose myopia is actively getting worse, depending on how consistently the drops are used.
This study tests whether low-dose atropine eye drops can prevent or slow down nearsightedness in children ages 6–11 who don't yet need glasses. The goal is to keep children's vision stable and reduce their need for corrective lenses as they grow.
This study tests whether special glasses or low-dose atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness in children. It compares four groups: glasses alone, eye drops alone, both together, or a placebo (no active treatment).
