Myopia Management
Atropine Eye Drops
Low-dose atropine eye drops, a simple, evidence-based option for slowing myopia in children.
Atropine Eye Drops for Myopia Management
Low-dose atropine eye drops are one of the most studied interventions for slowing myopia progression in children. Applied at bedtime, they have been shown in multiple large-scale trials to significantly slow axial elongation with minimal side effects at low concentrations.
What you should know?
How it works: atropine is thought to act on receptors in the sclera to slow eye growth
Concentration used: 0.01% to 0.05% (low-dose), compounded or commercially available
Side effects at low dose: minimal, with slight light sensitivity in some children
Often used in combination with Ortho-K or MiSight for enhanced effect
Requires a therapeutic endorsement prescription. Our therapeutically endorsed optometrists can prescribe
OrthoK

Four ways to slow myopia
There is no single best treatment. The right choice depends on your child's age, how quickly the prescription is changing, and what they will realistically stick to. Here is how the options compare.
