Atropine eye drops to slow myopia in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether atropine eye drops can reduce the progression of myopia (nearsightedness, where you have trouble seeing far away) in children. It might help slow down the worsening of vision over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is aged between 6 and 12 years old
- Your child has myopia (nearsightedness) of at least -1.00 diopters in both eyes
- Your child's myopia worsened by at least 0.50 diopters in the past year
- Your child has no other eye diseases or conditions that affect vision
- Your child has not previously used treatments for myopia control like atropine, pirenzepine, orthokeratology (special contact lenses), or other optical methods
- Your child is not allergic to atropine, cyclopentolate, or benzalkonium chloride

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 study tests whether combining a special contact lens with atropine eye drops can slow down the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It aims to find a more effective way to prevent their vision from getting worse.
This trial tests whether atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness (myopia) in children and teenagers. It may help keep their eyesight from getting worse over time.
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 trial tests whether a combination of low-dose atropine eye drops (0.02% or 0.04%) and special glasses (called DIMS) can slow down the worsening of moderate to high myopia in children aged 6 to 12.
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.
