Brimonidine Eye Drops in the Prevention of Myopia Progression
Sponsor: Fundacion para la Investigacion Biomedica del Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal
Summary
Study to determine the efficacy of alpha-2 adrenergic drugs (brimonidine) in the prevention of myopia progression. Given that the drugs used so far have limited efficacy and side effects (loss of near vision, photophobia), it may be an interesting contribution to such treatment at low cost, and to avoid the expense of managing the complications of myopia that develop throughout life.
