Childhood Atropine for Myopia Progression Market Poised to Grow at 9.9% CAGR, Reaching USD 2.8 Billion by 2034

Introduction
Myopia, or nearsightedness, has reached epidemic proportions worldwide, with prevalence surging particularly in children. Without effective interventions, childhood myopia often progresses to high myopia, significantly raising the risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and myopic macular degeneration later in life.

One of the most promising treatments for slowing myopia progression in children is low-dose atropine therapy. Clinical studies have demonstrated that low concentrations of atropine (0.01% to 0.05%) are effective in reducing progression while minimizing side effects such as light sensitivity and near-vision difficulties seen with higher doses. With rising awareness among parents and ophthalmologists, the Childhood Atropine for Myopia Progression Market is gaining global traction and is expected to expand rapidly through 2034.
