The Effects of Low-dose Atropine and Orthokeratology in Pediatric Myopia Control

Not Applicable
Conditions
Myopia
Interventions
Device: orthokeratology
Drug: low-dose atropine eye drops
Registration Number
NCT05478356
Lead Sponsor
Evidence Based Cataract Study Group
Brief Summary

Both orthokeratology and atropine eye drops are effective methods for myopia control, but few studies have compared them all together simultaneously. Therefore, the primary aim of the present study was to compare the effect of orthokeratology versus low-dose (0.01% and 0.02%) atropine on the control of myopia progression.
