Abstract With the increasing incidence of myopia in children and a younger age of myopia onset, myopia has become a global public health problem, which needs to be addressed immediately. Effective interventions for myopia control include bifocal glasses, multi-focal glasses, orthokeratology lens and pharmacologic, etc. Recently, atropine eye drops have obtained widespread concern for its effectiveness in suppressing the myopia progression. As low-dose atropine can effectively control myopia progression and axial growth, with significantly less adverse events such as photophobia and blurred near vision compared to higher concentration preparation, low-concentration atropine has become one of the important research areas for myopia prevention and control in children. This article summarizes the research progress of lowconcentration atropine in myopia control of children.
