Atropine treatment for myopia control involves instilling low dose atropine eye drops in both eyes before bed. Atropine eye drops have been shown to slow myopia progression by up to 51%.* If atropine is used to slow myopia progression the child will still need to wear glasses during the day 

Advantages of atropine include:

Slows myopia progression by up to 51%*

Alternative form of myopia control that doesn’t involve contact lenses

Reversible and non-surgical alternative for myopia management

Beneficial for those who suffer with dry eyes from contact lenses
