What is Low-Dose Atropine?
Atropine eye drops, commonly used to dilate pupils during eye exams, are also an effective treatment for slowing myopia progression.
Low-dose atropine, in concentrations ranging from 0.01% to 0.05%, is often prescribed for children between the ages of 5 and 18.
These drops relax the eye’s focusing muscles and slow eye growth, helping prevent worsening nearsightedness.
How Atropine Works
Administered nightly, low-dose atropine reduces the elongation of the eyeball, which helps slow myopia progression. While these drops help manage myopia, children may still require glasses or contact lenses for clear vision.
