Atropine Drops and Ear Acupressure for Childhood Myopia
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether very low-dose atropine eye drops combined with acupressure on the ear can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in children. Researchers will also check how the treatment affects the inner eye tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 6 and 12 years old
- Child has myopia (nearsightedness) diagnosed after dilating the eye
- Astigmatism and unequal vision between eyes are mild (less than 2.0 diopters difference)
- Normal eye pressure (below 21 mmHg)
- No active eye infection, ulcers, or eyelid problems
- No ear disorders or conditions like crossed eyes or lazy eye

This study tests whether using acupressure on the ear can help reduce the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) that can happen after stopping atropine eye drops, which are commonly used to slow myopia progression in children.
This study tests whether pressing small pellets on specific points of the ear (called auricular acupressure) can help keep children from becoming nearsighted. The ear points are believed to influence eye health and may help maintain the natural farsightedness that protects against myopia.
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 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 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 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.
