Effect of Atropine Eye Drops on Choroidal Thinning Induced by Hyperopic Retinal Defocus

Abstract

Atropine abolished choroidal thinning induced by hyperopic defocus without changing baseline choroidal thickness. The results suggest that atropine inhibits signals associated with hyperopic defocus, for example, from lag of accommodation during near work. This trial is registered with ACTRN12617001519347.
