Article Synopsis
- The study investigated factors linked to myopia progression and axial elongation in children with myopia.
- It analyzed data from a trial comparing atropine treatment with a placebo, focusing on children aged 5 to <13 with specific refractive errors and other characteristics.
- Results showed that younger children and those with higher initial myopia experienced more significant changes in refractive error and axial length, highlighting the need for treatments to slow progression in this at-risk group.
Refractive Error Change and Overminus Lens Therapy for Childhood Intermittent Exotropia.

Importance: Increased myopic shift was found to be associated with 1 year of overminus spectacle treatment for children with intermittent exotropia (IXT). Persistence of myopic shift after discontinuing overminus spectacles is unknown.
Objective: To compare refractive error change over 3 years in children with IXT originally treated with overminus vs nonoverminus spectacles.
Objective: The BUTTERFLY observational study aims to elucidate the natural trajectory of Dravet syndrome (DS) and associated comorbidities in order to establish a baseline for clinical therapies. We present the 12-month interim analysis of the study.
Materials And Methods: Patients with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of DS were enrolled in the study.
Importance: Controlling myopia progression is of interest worldwide. Low-dose atropine eye drops have slowed progression in children in East Asia.
Objective: To compare atropine, 0.
We evaluated the effect of part-time patching versus observation on distance exodeviation control in post hoc analyses of 3- to <11-year-olds with intermittent exotropia who were assigned to either patching 3 hours/day or observation in a previously reported randomized clinical trial. The present analysis was limited to a subgroup of 306 participants who at distance fixation spontaneously manifested either a constant or intermittent exotropia or had prolonged recovery after monocular occlusion (a distance control score of 2 or worse using the 0-5 Office Control Score scale) at baseline. We assessed change in control at distance and near fixation, from baseline to 3 months and baseline to 6 months (1 month after discontinuing patching).
