MYOPIA ATROPINE: ATOM 2 Myopia control with Atropine • SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/GoodOptomet... • This is a summary of the ATOM 2 myopia study: Atropine for the treatment of childhood myopia and myopia control. This study is one of the important studies that established what dose of Atropine is an effective treatment for myopia control in order to slow the progression of myopia in children. • • Link to Journal articles • ATOM1: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16996... • ATOM2: Phase 1: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21963... • ATOM2: Phase 2: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24315... • ATOM2; Phase 3: https://www.aao.org/assets/28fe020e-5... • CLINICAL PEARLS: • 00:00 Intro • 02:45 1. 0.01% Atropine has little effect on pupils and accomodation. • 03:34 2. Lower dosages (0.5%, 0.1%, 0.01%) atropine are almost as effective at 1% in reducing myopia progression • 04:45 3. 0.01% atropine is effective in myopia control • 05:29 4. 0.01% atropine has less myopic rebound than higher doses • 06:24 5. 0.01% atropine is the most effective in myopia progression in the long term • This study is a called Atropine for the Treatment of Childhood Myopia: Safety and Efficacy of 0.5%, 0.1%, and 0.01% Doses (Atropine for the Treatment of Myopia 2) and sometimes it is referred to as the ATOM 2 Study. It was published in the journal Ophthalmology in 2012. • ATOM 1 study showed that 1 % atropine works to reduce myopia progression there are 2 problems (lets call them symptoms) with 1% atropine: 1. It dilates your pupil so you may be sensitivite to lights and you may need to wear tinted lenses. And 2. It freezes your accommodation or ability to focus to will need to wear a bifocal lens. • So the ATOM 2 study looks at whether lower dosages of atropine are as effective as 1% atropine AND if the kids get less symptoms of atropine • So this is a double masked randomized study that looked at 400 kids between the ages 6-12. So this study has 2 phases to it. Phase one the kids used lower dosages atropine in each both eyes of either 0.5%, 0.1% or 0.01% atropine. One drop in each eye every evening for 2 years. I’ll tell you about phase 2 in a bit. • This is different from ATOM 1 because ATOM 1 they used 1% but only in one eye for 2 years. • The results for the lower dosages of atropine also showed a that they reduced the progression of myopia….and almost as much as the 1% atropine. • There was a myopic rebound after atropine was stopped, and it was greater in eyes that had received the higher concentrations of 0.5% and 0.1%atropine. The 0.01% atropine effect, however was more modulated and sustained. • Good Optometry morning is a youtube channel features Dr. Michael Nelson as your youtube optometrist and it answers questions about your eye health, vision, eyesight, contact lenses, eyeglasses, eye disease and and all things related to you eyesight. • Optometrist, Dr. Michael Nelson, is a Canadian and Winnipeg eye doctor who practices in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. • Michael Nelson, OD FAAO, Youtube Eye Doctor • Good Optometry Morning • Winnipeg Optometrist • Webstore: EyeCanada • https://eyecanada.sightlyapps.com • Equipment used: • Microphone: BlueYeti https://amzn.to/3lwiQ0g • Eye Clinics • Waverley Eye Care Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada • https://www.WaverleyEyeCare.com • Eyes On Bridgwater, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada • https://www.EyesOnBridgwater.com • MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: Disclaimer Information contained within our channel and videos is intended solely for educational purposes and is neither intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice relative to your specific medical condition or question.
