    Abstract:

    As the prevalence of myopia continues to increase, our society shows increasing interest in the visual impairment associated with myopia and methods for myopia control. Current methods for myopia control include atropine, orthokeratology, dual-focus contact lenses, multifocal contact lenses, and functional frame glasses, etc. Low-concentration atropine(0.01%, 0.05%)became the first-line medication which has been administrated and shown to be effective in controlling the occurrence and progression of myopia. Meanwhile, low-concentration atropine shows longer-lasting effects, less frequent adverse effects and higher patients' acceptance than high-concentration atropine. This article reviews the efficacy, safety, time-to-treatment, and effects when combined with other treatments to provide evidence for the clinical application of low-concentration atropine on myopia control.
