Atropine eye drops are primarily used for the following indications:
Mydriasis (dilation of the pupil): Atropine causes the pupil to dilate, which is helpful for eye examinations or surgical procedures.
Cycloplegia: It temporarily paralyzes the ciliary muscle, preventing the eye from focusing, which is often used in diagnostic procedures.
Uveitis: Atropine is used to relieve pain associated with inflammation of the uvea by relaxing the eye muscles and preventing spasms.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Low-dose atropine is sometimes used in children to blur vision in the stronger eye, forcing the weaker eye to work harder, thus improving its function.
