Scientific Evidence

Pharmacological effects: Atropine works by blocking the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the eye, leading to pupil dilation and relaxation of the ciliary muscle. This action helps in controlling myopia progression by reducing eye growth.

Clinical trials: Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of atropine eye drops in slowing down myopia progression in children and adults. A study by Chia et al. (2012) showed a significant reduction in myopia progression with atropine treatment compared to a control group.
