Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study of low dose atropine in preventing the onset and progression of myopia in high risk children with pre-myopia or low-myopia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

High risk children (with family history of myopia) with low hyperopia or low myopia will be randomized to atropine or placebo, with 2 -2.5 year treatment and 1 year washout.
