Introduction
Topin Eye Drop is an anticholinergic medication used to treat myopia and inflammation in the eyes (uveitis or iritis). It is also used to induce cycloplegia for eye examination and diagnose eye problems like blurred vision or squint in children.

How it works
Topin Eye Drop is an anticholinergic medication. It works by making the pupil of your eye larger and relaxes the muscles in your eye allowing proper examination. It also helps reduce inflammation or swelling in the eye (uveitis or iritis). Using Topin Eye Drop dilates the pupils and temporarily paralyzes the focusing muscle inside the eye. It also relaxes the eyes' focusing mechanisms. This treats myopia.
