Discontinuation Approach and Follow-Up of Low-Concentration Atropine for Myopia Progression
This study found that over 3 years, the participants in the taper group had less myopia progression than the stop group, particularly in children who were younger and had more myopia. However, to our knowledge, the clinical relevance of this approximately 0.25-D difference between treatment groups is not well understood from the current medical literature.
