The prevalence of myopia has increased in recent years [Interventions to reduce myopia progression include changes to lifestyle. Increasing outdoor activities during elementary school recesses has been shown to delay myopia onset and reduce myopia progression [Myopia progression varies with ethnicity and social setting [Ultimately, questions remain about transferability of results between different ethnicities and social settings, what the optimal dosing regimen is [In this study we investigated the safety and efficacy of one-year treatment with low-dose atropine eye drops for reducing myopia progression in six- to twelve-year old Danish children. Additionally, we wanted to see if a 0.1% loading dose for the first six months lead to a greater sustained effect.
