Atropine Effect on School Myopia-A Preliminary Report
摘要
This study reports the result of the atropine effect on myopic school children. A series of 40 myopic school children received 1% atropine ointment every night continously and used bifocal glasses for one year. Another 40 myopic school children were a control group. These children received no medication and wore only corrected glasses. The follow up ophthalmologic examinations were done every 3 months and the result was determined at the end of one year. There were 41 eyes (51.25%) in the atropine treated group that showed no progression of myopia and 51 eyes (62.5%) in untreated group (control) that showed more than 0.5D increment in myopia degree. The mean myopia increment was 0.1 66D in the group receiving medication and 0.752D in the group receiving no medication. The difference is stastically significant (P＜0.05). We conclude that the application of 1% atropine ointment is a simple and effective method to stop or slowdown the progression of myopia.
