Can 0.01% Atropine Control Myopia?

Atropine sulfate 0.01% can generally control myopia. It is recommended that patients use medication rationally under the guidance of a doctor. Atropine sulfate 0.01% has antispasmodic and antidotal effects, and can treat various symptoms such as visceral colic, gastrointestinal colic, and arrhythmia. Additionally, atropine sulfate 0.01% has a mydriatic effect, which can relax the iris sphincter and ciliary muscle, allowing them to rest fully. It can also affect retinal signal conduction, thereby controlling the growth of the ocular axis. Patients with myopia often have poor eye usage habits, which may lead to an excessively long ocular axis. In such cases, the above-mentioned medication can be used under a doctor's guidance to assist in controlling the progression of myopia. If patients experience obvious discomfort, such as itchy or swollen eyes, during medication use, they should stop using the medication as instructed by their doctor and promptly visit a hospital for examination. Targeted treatment will then be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. During medication use, it is important to pay attention to eye health. It is not recommended to watch television or read for extended periods to avoid eye fatigue, which is不利于the rapid recovery of the body.
