Glasses or contact lenses are prescribed to aid your child’s vision and allow them to see clearly. There is growing evidence in the medical literature to suggest that Atropine 0.01% eye drops can reduce the rate of myopia progression in children.
Atropine 1% is currently used as a diagnostic eye drop in some clinics to dilate the pupils and relax the focusing components of the eye to aid examination. For Myopia management a much lower concentration of Atropine (0.01%) is used which is 100 times weaker than the dose currently used in clinic.
