What are Atropine Drops?
At eye&I , we offer advanced solutions to help manage progressive myopia, and low-dose atropine eye drops are one of the most effective and well-researched treatments available. Backed by years of clinical studies, atropine therapy can help slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children—protecting long-term vision and reducing the risk of serious eye diseases later in life.
What Are Atropine Eye Drops?
Atropine drops are a medicated eye drop used in low concentrations to manage childhood myopia progression. While traditionally used for other eye conditions, recent research shows that diluted atropine (typically 0.01%–0.05%) can relax the eye’s focusing system and reduce eye elongation—a key factor in worsening myopia.
It's important to note:
Atropine drops do not replace glasses or contacts—they help slow myopia progression, not correct blurred vision. Your child will still need vision correction to see clearly.
Why Choose Atropine for Myopia Management?
Clinically Proven Results
Numerous studies confirm that low-dose atropine significantly slows myopia progression in children, making it a trusted option among eye care professionals worldwide.
Simple, Once-Daily Application
Just one drop in each eye at bedtime is all it takes. It’s a hassle-free treatment that easily fits into your child’s daily routine.
Safe and Well-Tolerated
Atropine eye drops are generally well tolerated, with minimal side effects. Some children may experience mild light sensitivity or difficulty with near focus, which typically improves over time.
Custom-Tailored Treatment
At eye&I , our optometrists create individualized treatment plans and adjust dosages as needed to ensure optimal results and patient comfort.
Is Atropine Treatment Right for Your Child?
Atropine drops are best suited for:
● Children with progressive myopia
● Patients not ideal for Ortho-K or soft contact lens treatments
● Families seeking a non-invasive, easy-to-administer solution
The earlier treatment begins, the more effective it can be. Children under age 12 benefit the most from early myopia management intervention.
