Abstract: Abstract:Myopia is a common refractive error in the process of development. With the high incidence and low age of myopia in children and adolescents, it has become a worldwide public health problem, seriously endangering physical and mental health. The prevention and control of myopia has a long way to go. Low concentration atropine, as an M type choline receptor inhibitor, has been proved by medical research to effectively delay the progress of myopia. This paper reviews the relevant studies at home and abroad in recent years. The optimal concentration of low concentration atropine, the best clinical regimen and possible potential side effects were discussed. From the point of view of school public health, this paper discusses the significance of low concentration atropine for the prevention and control of myopia among school age students, in order to provide a reliable basis and new ideas for the follow up clinical application of atropine and myopia prevention and control strategies for school students.
