Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age: Participants are school-aged children and adolescents aged 6 to 14 years. 2. Diagnosis: Confirmed diagnosis of axial myopia under cycloplegic refraction, meeting the following criteria: For ages 6-8: Axial length (AL) >= 23.50 mm. For ages 9-14: Axial length (AL) >= 24.00 mm. Spherical equivalent (SE) between -0.50 and -6.00 diopters (D). 3. Ocular Health: No active ocular diseases; transparent refractive media (cornea, lens, vitreous). General Health: No severe systemic diseases; no history of allergy to the study drug (atropine) or spectacle lens materials. 4. Informed Consent & Compliance: Written informed consent provided by the legal guardian(s) and assent obtained from the child/adolescent participant. Both the participant and guardian must demonstrate good compliance and be willing and able to complete all study visits and examinations for the 12-month follow-up period.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Myopia Type: Diagnosis of non-axial myopia (e.g., refractive myopia). 2. Ocular Comorbidities: Presence of active or significant ocular diseases, including but not limited to keratitis, conjunctivitis, glaucoma, cataract, or fundus pathologies. 3. Prior Myopia Control Interventions: Any history of receiving treatments for myopia control, such as orthokeratology (ortho-k), defocus spectacle/contact lenses, atropine eye drops, or refractive surgery (e.g., LASIK, PRK). 4. Contraindications & Non-compliance: Known contraindications to atropine or hypersensitivity to any components of the study spectacles.Inability or unwillingness to cooperate with required study procedures, such as cycloplegic refraction and axial length measurement.
