The researchers highlighted several conclusions in their paper:
1. Continued 0.05% atropine treatment was effective in myopia control with good tolerance over five years.
2. Retreatment should be considered for those who have experienced myopia progression after stopping treatment.
3. For children at high risk of myopia progression, continued treatment with 0.05% atropine during the first five years is suggested.

It goes without saying that screens are a huge part of our lives in 2023. Whether you’re working from home, reading an online article, or scrolling your IG feed, your eyes could probably use a break.

To help alleviate digital eye strain, practice the 20–20–20 rule: After every 20 minutes spent looking at a screen, take a 20-second break to look at something about 20 feet away. Your eyes will thank you for it

While aging is one risk factor for dry eye, dry eye disease can happen at any age. For children, dry eyes may happen as a result of allergies, eye infections, or prolonged screen time.

You can support your child’s eye health and help reduce their risk of dry eye by encouraging outdoor play and keeping them up-to-date for their regular eye exams!
