Dual Therapy for Myopia Control

1

The ASPECT trial indicates that combining low-dose atropine with DIMS lenses enhances myopia control compared to atropine alone.
2

At 12 months, axial elongation was significantly lower in the combination therapy group (0.07 mm) compared to the atropine-only group (0.18 mm).
3

Nearly 40% of children receiving combination therapy showed no axial elongation, compared to 12% in the control group.

The study suggests that achieving near-physiological axial growth could reduce the lifetime risk of myopia-related complications.
5

Tolerability of the combination therapy was good, although adherence to the regimen remains a challenge for patients.
