Atropine eye drops for children with worsening nearsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether daily atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness in children. It's for kids aged 5–10 whose myopia is actively progressing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 5 and 10 years old.
- Their nearsightedness must be between -1.00 and -6.00 (moderate to high) in each eye.
- Their nearsightedness should have worsened by at least 0.5 diopters in the past year.
- They must not have used other myopia treatments (like special lenses or contact lenses) before.
- They must be in good overall health, with no asthma needing medication in the past year, and no allergies to the study eye drops.

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 tests whether atropine eye drops can slow down nearsightedness (myopia) that often happens after cataract surgery in young children. If your child is eligible, they will receive the drops to help keep their vision from getting worse.
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.
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 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 study tests if low-dose atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness in children. Children in the study receive either the drops or no treatment, and their vision changes are tracked over time.
