Addition of 0.01% atropine to soft multifocal contact lens failed to correct myopia, according to a new study. Combining 0.01% atropine with soft multifocal contact lenses (SMCL) failed to demonstrate better myopia control than soft multifocal contact lenses (SMCL) alone.
The study has been published in Optometry and Vision Science.
The Bifocal & Atropine in Myopia (BAM) study investigated whether combining 0.01% atropine and soft multifocal contact lenses (SMCL) with +2.50-D add power leads to greater slowing of myopia progression and axial elongation than SMCL alone.
