Abstract
ObjectiveTo contrast the clinical effect and safety of different low concentrations of atropine preparations in the treatment of adolescent myopia.
MethodsA total of 120 cases (240 eyes) myopia patients were selected as study subjects and were divided into experimental group A, experimental group B, experimental group C, and control group by the random number table, with 30 cases (60 eyes) in each group. The experimental group A received relatively high concentration (0.1%) of atropine, experimental group B received relatively middle concentration (0.05%) of atropine, experimental group C received lowest concentration (0.01%) of atropine, and control group received no drug therapy. The treatment effect (axial length, intraocular pressure, diopter, visual acuity of the control group were observed at the same time point) in the four groups were compared, and the occurrence of adverse reactions among experimental group A, experimental group B, and experimental group C were recorded.
ResultsThe total effective rate of experimental group A was obviously higher than that of experimental group B (93.3% vs.90%), the total effective rate of experimental group B was obviously higher than that of experimental group C (90% vs.83.3%), with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions of experimental group C was 3.3%, which was obviously lower 16.7% in experimental group A and 10% in experimental group B, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).
ConclusionDifferent low concentrations of atropine have effect in control adolescent myopia, which is better combined with outdoor exercise and wearing glasses. 0.1% and 0.05% low concentrations of atropine are more effective than 0.01% low concentration of atropine, but 0.01% low concentration of atropine is safer than high and middle concentrations of atropine.
