Hello Myopin is an eyedrop which is low dose atropine. This is useful to decrease speed of myopia progression. It can't improve eyesight or decrease power of glasses

Hello Myopin eye drop is atropine 0.01%.  this medication is used to slow down / stop further increase in minus number glass power.  This treatment doesn't reduce the number but focusses on stabilising the present number. This eyedrop is given if one has minus number and if it is increasing significantly as measured on 2/3 consecutive examination by an ophthalmologist  , most beneficial in the age group 6-12. This treatment has to be done under supervision of an ophthalmologist and needs regular follow ups for 1 year or so. Do provide us your glass number old and new ones for further recommendation.
