Abstract:
AIM:To evaluate the effect of differ-ent frequencies 0.01%atropine eye drops on the ocular surface in adolescent myopia control.METH-ODS:A total of 84 adolescent patients with myopia were recruited for this study.They were randomly assigned to receive 0.01%atropine eye drops at dif-ferent frequencies(morning group,evening group,morning and evening group).During the treatment period,ocular and systemic adverse reactions were observed,spherical equivalent refraction(SER)and axial length(AX)were examined.Additionally,ocu-lar surface disease index(OSDI)questionnaire was obtained,tear meniscus height(TMH),non-inva-sive first tear film break-up time(NifBUT),non-inva-sive average tear film break-up time(NiaBUT),and meibomian gland atrophy score(MaS)were mea-sured by Keratograph 5M.RESULTS:During the 6-month treatment with 0.01%atropine eye drops,all adverse reaction symptoms were relatively mild and infrequent.Only one case of systemic reaction was reported,with temporary xerostomia.Six pa-tients reported discomfort such as ocular itching and dryness.The ocular reactions of photophobia and blurred near vision were slightly more com-mon in the morning and combined morning-eve-ning groups compared to the evening group,but there were no significant differences among the three groups(P>0.05).Compared to baseline,there were significant differences in SER and AX among the three groups after six months of treatment(P<0.05).Compared to baseline,no significant differ-ences were observed in the Morning group after six months of treatment in terms of OSDI score(P=0.656),TMH value(P=0.362),NifBUT(P=0.510),Ni-aBUT(P=0.700),and MaS(P=0.846).Similarly,no significant changes were found in the Evening group regarding OSDI score(P=0.429),TMH value(P=0.462),NifBUT(P=0.462),NiaBUT(P=0.598),and MaS(P=0.351).Additionally,in the Morning and evening group,no significant changes were de-tected in OSDI score(P=0.457),TMH value(P=0.748),NifBUT(P=0.197),NiaBUT(P=0.070),and MaS(P=0.802)after six months of treatment.CON-CLUSION:After six months of using 0.01%atropine eye drops with different frequencies in adolescent myopia control,there was no significant impact on the ocular surface.
