Summary

This trial tests if using a small amount of atropine eye drops can slow down worsening eyesight in Russian children with nearsightedness. The study aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective without causing significant side effects. Researchers are particularly interested in whether it works as well in Russian children as it does in Asian children. Atropine eye drops at low concentrations have been shown to slow myopia progression in children in various studies, including those conducted in East Asia and the USA.
