🛒 Purchase Options
📝 Description
Atropine is a medication used in ophthalmology, often in the form of eye drops, to treat conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye). It works by temporarily blurring vision in the stronger eye, encouraging the weaker eye to develop, serving as an alternative to patching.
💬 Quote Context
Now we don't reverse patch anymore. We give some drops. The eye drops make it a little bit blurry. You don't have to block the eye entirely. You can just do a drop that slightly blurs the eye by opening the pupil up. And now the eye that was sort of behind catches up. That is super practical, super cost-effective. Atropine costs pennies. It's super safe. It's just an eye drop.
