Myopia in children commonly occurs due to a problem in their focus mechanism. Atarm Eye Drop belongs to a class of medicines called anticholinergic drugs. It works by relaxing particularly those eye muscles which enable the eyes to focus on distant objects.

Use the eye drops only in the problematic eye unless your child’s doctor has suggested otherwise. Once opened, do not keep Atarm Eye Drop for more than 28 days at home. Discard the leftover medicine. To avoid contamination, do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, including the eyes, eyelids, or eyelashes. If your child is using more than one eye medicine, maintain a gap of few minutes between the two different medications. Adhere to the number of drops as suggested by your child’s doctor. Do not use more or less. Go for your child’s regular eye check-ups before and during the treatment. Only give Atarm Eye Drop to your child for their current problem. Never save medicine for future illnesses.
