C O M P O U N D I N G   C O R N E R : Atropine Eye Drops and Myopia

An ever-increasing number of children are being diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness). Researchers have been searching for a reason, and many have attributed the increase to an excess of screen time. Children who perform a lot of close tasks, including looking at screens or doing homework, account for a high number of cases. A lack of proper exposure to sunlight also appears to contribute to diagnoses.

At Hooper’s Pharmacy, we are able to prepare custom medicated Atropine eye drops, prescribed by optometrists, to counter myopia in children. Our compounding pharmacists prepare detailed programs outlining instructions for use and storage of our compounded medications and are always available to answer questions.
