MYOPIA-CONTROLLED EYE DROPS
Myopia is a refractive error that occurs when an image of an object is located in front of the retina - where the eye perceived - causes the image to become blurry. It is impossible to recover back to normal completely when you have myopia. However, we can slow down the progress of myopia up to 50% when using this eye drop.
Recent studies have shown that the use of eye drops according to a doctor’s prescription can reduce myopia by 50% or more in the group of patients using both glasses and the eye drops compared to the patient group using glasses only. This difference is significant because it can save our children from the complications of myopia in the future.
Eye drops: dosage and unwanted side-effects.
The drug widely used in the market to reduce myopia progression is Atropine. The action mechanism of Atropine in slowing down myopia progression is quite complex. The drug has the effect of paralyzing the eyelids that regulate the eyes’ vision. This effect thereby limits the regulation of the eye and reduces the increase in the eyeball shaft length, which means slowing down myopia progression.
Previously, the recommended dose of Atropine was 1% and 0.5%. At this concentration of the medicine, there may be some undesirable side-effects such as blurred vision, difficulty in seeing near objects, and the need for glasses when reading or writing. Recently, the use of medicine with a much lower concentration of 0.01% - 0.05% allows maintaining the ability to prevent myopia progression with almost no side effects.
One important thing is that your children should have an eye examination to see if they are appropriate for this medication as not all children can be given this. You also need to bring your children to the follow-up appointment on time and maintain the continual medication as prescribed by the doctor to achieve the desired effect.
