Low-Dose Atropine Eyedrops No Better Than Placebo for Slowing Myopia Progression

Use of low-dose atropine eyedrops (concentration 0.01%) was no better than placebo at slowing myopia (nearsightedness) progression and elongation of the eye among children treated for two years, according to a randomized controlled trial. The trial ...

Breaking Into Tears With Microrheology to Design Custom Eye Drops

In Physics of Fluids, Vega et al. researched human tears at the micron level to reveal new ways of customizing artificial tears to address individual symptoms of dry eye disease. The detailed insights they gained about the composition and behavior of tears could also apply to the study of ocular ...
