Three-year results of 0.01% and 0.1% loading dose atropine treatment including washout in Danish children with myopia: a placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial
This was a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised clinical trial of 97 children to examine the safety and efficacy of low-dose atropine (0.1% and 0.01% loading dose) after 2-year treatment and 1-year washout in 6–12-year-old Danish children with myopia. Ninety-one children were...
Atropine dosage for myopia treatment

Use of reduced volume BT as a treatment option for acute onset comitant esotropia
In this study, the effectiveness and safety of botulinum toxin (BT) for patients with acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) and deviation ≤25PD was investigated with comparison of results to conservative prism therapy. Botulinum toxin was undertaken without electromyographic guidance and...
Mydrin-P microdrops vs mydrin-P standard drops for ROP examination
This was a non-inferiority prospective randomised controlled trial to compare efficacy and safety of microdrops over standard dose mydrin-P in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening, and to determine optimal time for eye examination after administration of drops.
