Myopia is a condition in which people can see near objects clearly and distant objects appear blurred. This occurs due to abnormal growth of the eyeball that occurs in school age children and progresses through adolescence.
As a result of the excessive eye growth light rays are not focused on to the retina but in front, resulting in blurred vision. Glasses or contact lenses are then required to focus light rays back on to the retina for clear vision.
Limiting the progression of myopia reduces the risk of associated eye problems such as retinal detachment, myopic macular degeneration and Glaucoma.
Low dose atropine eye drops prevents myopia progression. This low concentration is safe and effective in reducing excessive eye growth. Glasses (or contact lenses) are still needed, but are weaker than would normally be required.
