Summary
7-methylxanthine has been shown to increase the concentration and thickness of collagen
fibrils in rabbit sclera. Deficient collagen in the sclera may be the cause of progression of
childhood myopia. The study hypothesis is that treatment with 7-methylxanthine will stabilize
the sclera and prevent further progression of myopia.
