| Core Tip |
This is the first study to evaluate nightly 0.01% atropine for myopia control in Lebanese children. Over 24 months atropine-treated eyes demonstrated statistically significantly slower myopic progression than spectacle-only controls at multiple timepoints. No adverse effects were recorded. These findings extend existing evidence to the underrepresented Middle Eastern region. They support low-dose atropine as a safe, accessible and effective option for pediatric myopia management in Lebanon. |
