Myopia often onsets in school-aged children. When it occurs earlier, there is higher risk of eye and general health conditions requiring extra clinical care.
Atropine eye drops for babies and toddlers
Atropine eye drops can be used in eye care for various reasons to test and treat specific conditions. There is evidence for atropine myopia control from age 4.
