Can atropine be dropped for a long time

We also do not recommend the use of atropine for long-term eye dosing, as the use of atropine drops can lead to paralysis of the ciliary muscle and dilatation of the pupil, resulting in a decrease in near vision. In times of strong sunlight, photophobia and tearing can also occur, which can cause great problems in work, life and study. Atropine drops are often used before optometry in children to release the spasm of the ciliary muscle and make optometry more accurate, and also for the treatment of uveitis. A very popular drug now is 0.01% atropine drops, which is useful for the prevention and control of myopia, but the safety and effectiveness of this drug for long-term use has not been proven.
