Low Dose Atropine Eye Drops in Myopic Egyptian Children
Previous Studies reported that low concentration atropine eye drops may be effective in increasing the choroidal blood flow and thickness and this slows myopia progression.

purpose of the study is to compare changes in axial length, anterior chamber depth, choroidal thickness, central corneal thickness and anterior scleral thickness among myopic children receiving atropine 0.05% or 0.01% and placebo.
