Official Title: Investigating Comparative Efficacy of Myopia Control Strategies and Genetic Underpinnings: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary:
Background: Myopia (nearsightedness) is a growing global health concern, projected to affect 50% of the world population by 2050. Children with progressive myopia are at risk of serious ocular complications including myopic maculopathy, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Low-dose atropine (0.05%) has shown efficacy in slowing myopia progression, and optical interventions such as bifocal spectacles may provide additional benefits by altering peripheral retinal defocus. Objective: This randomized controlled trial…
