Very thankful to share the results of our recent LAMP2 trial.

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

Among children aged 4 to 9 years without #myopia, nightly use of 0.05% atropine eyedrops compared with placebo resulted in a significantly lower incidence of myopia and lower percentage of participants with fast myopic shift at 2 years. https://t.co/XUjnPVGVad

We revealed the risk of child astigmatism is increased by more than 4-fold if both parents had high astigmatism. Early screening should be targeted at these children to provide timely detection and intervention to prevent amblyopia.

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

Children of parents with astigmatism were at higher risk for astigmatism during childhood. Early targeted screening among offspring of astigmatic parents promotes age-appropriate visual development and prevents amblyopia. @drazizkam @JasonYam7 https://t.co/4AUip3ExHq

Our LAMP Study 3rd Phase Results suggest continuing low concentration atropine during the 3rd year.

Three-year clinical trial of Low-concentration Atropine for #Myopia Progression (LAMP) study. Continuing low concentration atropine treatment during the third year confers a better efficacy, with 0.05% atropine as the optimal concentration. https://t.co/cZVftEGa9N

Our study suggests a 2.5-fold increase in myopia incidence during the pandemic due to decrease outdoor time and increase screen time.

[CUHK Medicine @CUHKMedicine]

Spending more time indoors & screens due to #COVID19 restrictions could be linked to #myopia in children👓 Our study suggests a 2.5-fold increase in myopia incidence during the pandemic.
