Benifits
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 Eye Ointment helps treat myopia by relaxing the muscles which enable the eyes to focus on distant objects. Use Atropine Eye Ointment as prescribed by your doctor.
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 Eye Ointment helps relieve these symptoms and improves eye health. It should be used as advised by the doctor to get the most benefit.
How to use
This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the tube close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the tube and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid.
How to works
- Atropine Eye Ointment 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 Eye Ointment dilates the pupils and temporarily paralyzes the focusing muscle inside the eye. It also relaxes the eyes' focusing mechanisms. This treats myopia.
