Importance: Additional data are required regarding atropine treatment regimens for control of myopia progression.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of different atropine regimens for myopia in children.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a secondary analysis of the 3-year results of the 24-Month Myopia Outcome Study of Atropine in Children (MOSAIC) trial, called the MOSAIC2 trial.
Purpose: To investigate 2-year changes in macular choroidal thickness (ChT) in children receiving 0.01% atropine eyedrops and its relationship with spherical equivalent refraction (SER) progression and axial length (AL) elongation.
Methods: A total of 250 myopic children aged 6-16 years (167%-0.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to create a comprehensive consensus on managing myopia in children and young people across the UK and Ireland through a Delphi method involving 34 expert optometrists and ophthalmologists.
- The panel agreed on 131 statements, emphasizing the need for parental discussions on interventions for myopia developed before age 13, publicly funded options for those at risk, and the consideration of individual hobbies and lifestyles in choosing treatment.
- Future research is essential to better identify at-risk patients, assess the effectiveness of treatments, and adapt management strategies as new evidence arises.
Background/objectives: Axial length, a key measurement in myopia management, is not accessible in many settings. We aimed to develop and assess machine learning models to estimate the axial length of young myopic eyes.
Subjects/methods: Linear regression, symbolic regression, gradient boosting and multilayer perceptron models were developed using age, sex, cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and corneal curvature.
