Benefits of Atropine Sulphate Eye Drop
In Treatment of Uveitis
The middle layer in the inner wall of the eye is called the uvea and any inflammation in this layer is called uveitis. This may cause sudden noticeable symptoms such as pain, redness, blurred vision, swelling etc. It may even occur after an eye procedure of surgery such as cataract surgery. Atropine 1% Eye Drop helps relieve these symptoms and improves eye health. It should be used as advised by the doctor to get the most benefit.
In Treatment of Myopia
Myopia or nearsightedness is an eye disorder in which you have difficulty seeing distant objects but can see objects that are near clearly. Atropine 1% Eye Drop helps treat myopia by relaxing the muscles which enable the eyes to focus on distant objects. Use Atropine 1% Eye Drop as prescribed by your doctor.
In Cycloplegia
Cycloplegia is the temporary paralysis of the ciliary muscles in the eye, which are responsible for adjusting the lens shape to focus on objects at different distances, a process known as accommodation. When cycloplegia occurs, the eye loses its ability to accommodate or adjust its focus, resulting in a fixed state of focus typically set for distant vision. Atropine 1% Eye Drop helps induce cycloplegia, which makes it a valuable tool in various ophthalmic applications, ranging from accurate refraction assessments to the management of certain eye conditions and facilitating diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

How Atropine Sulphate Eye Drop works
Atropine 1% Eye Drop is an anticholinergic medication. It works by making the pupil of your eye larger and relaxes the muscles in your eye, allowing proper examination. It also helps reduce inflammation or swelling in the eye (uveitis or iritis). Using Atropine 1% Eye Drop dilates the pupils and temporarily paralyzes the focusing muscle inside the eye. It also relaxes the eyes’ focusing mechanisms. This treats myopia.
