Title: N/A
Brief Summary: This study was designed to compare the difference of using atropine eyedrops alone from atropine combined with the stimulation of auricular acupoints therapy in reducing myopia progression.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* all included patients, age from 6 to 15 years, had myopia (spherical equivalent \> -0.5 D) after cycloplegic refraction,
* The astigmatism and anisometropia were less than 2.0 D,
* IOP was less than 21 mmHg.

Exclusion Criteria:

* the presence of related disease such as infection, ulceration, eyelid disease, ocular and auricular disorders,
* individuals with amblyopia or strabismus,
* individuals received any other therapies in the period of study,
* individuals suffering some sort of haemostasis disorder,
* individuals did not follow the treatment (eyedrops and/or stimulation of auricular acupoints) over seven days
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Children aged from 6 to 12 years with myopia, defined as spherical equivalent (SE) of -0.5 diopter (D) or less, were recruited from the outpatient clinics from January 2011 to June 2012.

Exclusion Criteria:

* (1) abnormal IOP (\>21 mmHg) at presentation, (2) astigmatism or anisometropia of more than 1.5 D, (3) amblyopia or strabismus, (4) the presence of any related eyelid diseases, ocular diseases, or auricular diseases, (5) the presence of hemostatic disorders or other related major systemic diseases, (6) history of allergy to atropine, (7) previous or current use of contact lenses, bifocals, progressive lenses, or other forms of treatment for myopia.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

1. The subject must be between 8 and 12 years of age.
2. At least one of the subject's parents or legal guardian must read and understand English or Chinese.
3. The subject's manifest objective refraction (measured with an auto refractor) must be sphere: between -0.25D and -4.50D, and cylinder: \<1.50D in each eye.
4. The subject's best sphere contact lens correction must lie between -0.75D (better of the two eyes)and -4.25D (poorer of the two eyes).
5. The subject's cycloplegic objective refraction must be here: between -0.75D and -4.00D cylinder: \< or equal to 1.00D in each eye.
6. The subject must have 1.00D or less difference in spherical equivalent between the two eyes with cycloplegic refraction.
7. The subject must have a spectacle lens best-corrected visual acuity of 0.8 (20/25) or better in both eyes.
8. The subject's parent or legal guardian must read and sign the STAEMENT OF INFORMED CONSENT and the subject must read and sign the Child's Assent Form and be provided a copy of each form.
9. The subject must appear able and willing to adhere to the instructions set forth in this clinical protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Ocular or systemic allergies or diseases that may interfere with contact lens wear.
2. Systemic disease or autoimmune disease or use of medications (e.g. antihistamine), which may interfere with contact lens wear.
3. Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) corneal edema, corneal vascularization, corneal staining, or any other abnormality of the cornea, which may contraindicate contact lens wear.
4. Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) tarsal abnormalities or bulbar injection that might interfere with contact lens wear.
5. Any ocular infection.
6. Any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid gas permeable contact lens wear.
7. Any infectious disease (e.g. hepatitis, tuberculosis) or an immunosuppressive disease (e.g. HIV)
8. Diabetes
9. Anisometropia of greater than 1.00D by cycloplegic refraction.
10. Astigmatism of greater than 1.00D in either eye by cycloplegic refraction.
11. Eye injury or surgery within eight weeks immediately prior to enrollment for this study.
12. Previous refractive surgery, orthokeratology, keratoconus, or other corneal irregularity in either eye. Rigid contact lens wearers cannot be enrolled in the study unless they are off rigid contact lenses for at least 4 weeks.
13. Strabismus in either eye.
14. Pupil or lid abnormality or infection in either eye
15. Central corneal scar in either eye
16. Aphakia in either eye
17. Contraindications to contact lens wear such as dry eye or history of prior unsuccessful contact lens wear.
18. History of participation in prior clinical trials aimed to control myopia progression.
19. Surgically altered eyes, ocular infection of any type, ocular inflammation.
20. An anterior chamber angle grade 2 or narrower by the Van Herrick method
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Myopia (refractive sphere): \> 0.50D and ≤ 4.00D
* Astigmatism: \< ½ of myopia; with-the-rule astigmatism (axes 180 +/- 30) ≤1.25D; astigmatism of other axes ≤ 0.50D
* Spherical equivalent (SE): \> 0.75D and ≤ 4.50D
* Anisometropia: ≤ 1.50D in both refractive sphere, refractive cylinder and SE
* Best corrected monocular visual acuity: equal to or better than 0.10 in logMAR scale in both eyes
* Willingness for randomization
* Willingness to wear contact lenses or spectacles on a daily basis
* Availability for follow-up for at least 2 years

Exclusion Criteria:

* Strabismus at distance or near
* Contraindication for contact lens wear and orthokeratology (e.g. limbus to limbus corneal cylinder and dislocated corneal apex
* Prior experience with the use of rigid lenses (including orthokeratology)
* Prior experience with myopia control treatment (e.g. refractive therapy or progressive add spectacles)
* Systemic or ocular conditions which may affect contact lens wear (e.g. allergy and medication)
* Systemic or ocular conditions which may affect refractive development (e.g. Down syndrome, ptosis)
