Atropine eye drops for nearsighted children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 16 years old.
- They have nearsightedness of at least -1.00 diopters (a standard eye test measurement).
- Their astigmatism (blur from an irregularly shaped cornea) is less than -2.50 diopters.
- They haven't used atropine drops, pirenzipine, or contact lenses before.
- They don't have certain health conditions like Marfan syndrome, Stickler syndrome, or a history of eye surgery.
- They are not allergic to atropine.

This study tests whether low-dose atropine eye drops can prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children. Atropine is a medicine that has been used to slow myopia, and this trial looks at gradually increasing the dose to find the best approach.
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 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 daily atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness in children. It's for kids aged 5–10 whose myopia is actively progressing.
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.
