NEW 'EASY -TO USE' ATROPINE 0.01% SLOWS DOWN MYOPIA PROGRESSION We have known for decades that Atropine 1% slows down progression of myopia. This is not a very nice treatment to use, however - permanently dilated pupils, light sensitivity and inability to focus close up are real problems. In astonishing research published from Singapore, 0.01% Atropine seems to work just as well and there seem to be NO side effects!! There is no data to answer really important questions like: what happens 2 years after I stop the drop?...5 years?....will the myopia just 'catch up' to where it was going before I started the drops? |
