Purpose: To evaluate the effect of 0.01% atropine combined with orthokeratology (OK) lens on axial elongation in schoolchildren with myopia.
Methods: Sixty children aged 8-12 years with spherical equivalent refraction (SER) from -1.
Clinical Relevance: There are many methods to control the progression of myopia. However, it is currently unknown which method could better control myopia progression: 0.02% atropine eye drops, peripheral myopic defocus design spectacle lenses (PMDSL), or orthokeratology (OK).

Purpose: There is a particular anisometropia occurring in one eye with myopia, while the other eye has very low myopia, emmetropia, or very low hyperopia. It is unclear how the binocular axial length changes when these children wear unilateral OK lenses only in the more myopic eyes. This study investigates the changes in the axial elongation of both eyes.

Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted over a 12-month period.
Background: To evaluate the effects of 0.02% and 0.01% atropine eye drops on ocular and corneal astigmatism over 2 years.

Methods: Ninety-five children with myopic anisometropia who used OK lenses (N=49) or 0.
Four hundred myopic children randomly received atropine 0.02% (n = 138) or 0.01% (n = 142) in both eyes once-nightly or only wore single-vision spectacles (control group) (n = 120) for 2 years.

The current prevalence of myopia among disadvantaged school children in Australia has not been reported. Therefore, this study analyses refractive data for children from rural and outer suburban areas.

Objective: To compare the efficacies of 0.02% atropine eye drops and orthokeratology to control axial length (AL) elongation in children with myopia.
Methods: In this historical control study, 247 children with myopia whose administration of 0.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of 0.01% and 0.02% atropine eye drops on myopia progression, pupil diameter and accommodative amplitude in myopic children.

Methods: Twenty-seven unilateral myopia (group 1) and 25 bilateral myopia with anisometropia children (group 2) were involved in this 1-year retrospective study. The eyes with higher spherical equivalent refractive error (SER) were assigned to the H eyes subgroup and the fellow eyes with lower SER to the L eyes subgroup in the two groups.
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between axial length (AL) increase and baseline spherical equivalent refractive errors (SER) in myopic children wearing orthokeratology contact lenses (OK).
Methods: One hundred fifteen Chinese (115 right eyes) children wearing OK were enrolled in this cohort study. Gender, age, baseline SER, corneal power, corneal astigmatism, and AL at baseline and 2 years after wearing OK were collected.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcome of on-flap and off-flap epi-LASIK for moderate to high myopia.
Methods: This prospective, observer-masked, randomized study included 62 eyes of 31 patients with myopia who underwent off-flap epi-LASIK (epikeratome; Moria, Antony, France) in one eye (off-flap group) and on-flap epi-LASIK in the contralateral eye (on-flap group). Corneal ablation was performed with a commercially available laser (Mel-80; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Oberkochen, Germany).
