Myopi-X lenses vs. low-dose atropine in myopia control: a Turkish retrospective study
Both Myopi-X<sup>®</sup> lenses and atropine 0.01% effectively slowed myopia progression over 12 months compared to single vision lenses. Spherical equivalent progression and axial length elongation were comparable between these two treatment groups. Gender and baseline axial length did not significantly affect the outcomes, whereas older children exhibited less myopic progression in terms of spherical equivalent change. This study aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness of these two treatment strategies. Further studies with longer follow-up periods are required to evaluate the long-term sustainability of these effects.
