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.
