Patients6
Many patients require prescription eyedrops for in-home treatment of their condition. (aao.org)
When patients self-administer these eyedrops, a certain amount goes unused due to spills or other factors. (aao.org)
However, eyedrop prescription laws often assume patients administer eyedrops under perfect conditions. (aao.org)
Because of these laws, patients can't always refill their eyedrops as soon as they need. (aao.org)

Myopia progression2
Much stronger concentrations of atropine eyedrops (0.5-1.0%) have long been used by pediatric eye doctors to slow myopia progression. (nih.gov)
In 2020, Yam and colleagues reported results of the Low-Concentration Atropine for Myopia Progression (LAMP) study, which showed that eyedrops containing a solution of 0.05% atropine worked best at slowing the progression of myopia in 4- to 12-year-olds who already had the condition. (medscape.com)
Nightly3
While effective, such doses cause light sensitivity and blurry near vision while on the nightly eyedrops. (nih.gov)
For the study, 187 children ages 5 to 12 years with low-to-moderate bilateral myopia were randomly assigned to use nightly atropine (0.01%) (125 children) or placebo (62 children) eyedrops for two years. (nih.gov)
Of that starting group, 353 children (age, 4 - 9 years) completed the study, which involved receiving eyedrops once nightly in both eyes for 2 years. (medscape.com)
Atropine1
Use of low-dose atropine eyedrops (concentration 0.01%) was no better than placebo at slowing myopia (nearsightedness) progression and elongation of the eye among children treated for two years, according to a randomized controlled trial conducted by the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG) and funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI).

Reports1
