Light sensitivity after ATROPINE %
Hi,
My wife was having headache and increasing mypoia.
Dr had advised ATROPINE 0.01% But by mistake we instilled 1% on 30 June.
Since then she is experiencing strong glare from light and her vision is blurry.
Still not any improvement. Need medical advise what to do ?
Thanks!
