The Myopia study will look at the safety and effectiveness of a medication expected to prevent the progression of myopia in children. Testing in animals has shown that this medication appears to safely slow or stop the development of Myopia.

	The medication is placed in your child's eye twice a day: once when your child gets up in the morning and once just before going to sleep at night. You will be shown how to use the medication.

	Your child's participation in the Myopia study would be for one year. During that time, there will be up to 8 visits. Two or three visits will take about two hours each with the remaining visits lasting about one hour. Visits will be scheduled after school for your convenience.

	During visits, your child will be given standard eye examinations.
