What Parents Want to Know

What if my child won't cooperate with the eye drops?

This is common! Start with practice using artificial tears, make it part of their routine, and consider small rewards. Our team can share additional tips during your follow-ups.

What happens if I forget a dose?

Just continue with the next scheduled dose. Don't double up. Consistency is more important than perfection.

How will I know the treatment is working? 

We'll monitor progress during your regular 3-month follow-up appointments with specialized testing to track myopia progression.

What if the drops cause side effects?

Mild light sensitivity is normal. Contact us immediately if you notice persistent irritation, severe sensitivity, or any concerning symptoms.

Can my child still wear their glasses/contacts?

Yes! Atropine drops work alongside your child's regular vision correction. Continue wearing prescribed glasses or contacts as usual.
