Had a conversation yesterday with an optometrist about this. My daughter's myopia jumped from -.75 to -2.0 in a year. Asked about the atropine drops, special contacts, etc. He said the number one thing was to make sure my daughter was outdoors in sunlight. You can read or be on screens, just outdoors. His opinion was mixed on the drops and special contacts. The tricky part is you don't know how bad the myopia would be without interventions. So my child's myopia might be progressing, but maybe would have been even worse if we didn't do the drops or whatever. He also said growth spurts correlate with myopia progression.
