Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops for Myopia Control
Low-dose atropine eye drops (typically 0.01% to 0.05% concentration) are used off-label to slow myopia progression in children. This pharmaceutical approach is one of the most studied myopia management interventions.
How Atropine Works
Atropine is a muscarinic antagonist that, at low doses, appears to slow the elongation of the eyeball that causes myopia progression. The exact mechanism is still being researched.
