Change of cycloplegic refraction/year [D/year] after 1 year of treatment.

Overview

Brief Summary

The primary objective is to demonstrate superiority of low-dose atropine 0.02% eye drops compared to placebo for myopia control in children of Caucasian origin, measured as change of cycloplegic refraction/year [diopter per year (D/year)] after one year of treatment.
