Talk to Eye Specialist on Myopia Progression
Asking For Self, Female 19, Gulistan-e-johar
I have myopia for 8 years and it is increasing rapidly, my current eyesight is -6 in left eye and -5.5 in right eye. should I use atropine drops for myopia progression? or can you pls suggest any other drops or medicine for myopia progression.

Yes you can use atropine drops (0.01%). Normally myopia progresses w age and in some people it stops in 20’s. I would suggest going for LASIK or PRK once your prescription is stabilised
Atropine drops are best to slow down myopia progression, and usually vision stabilises at 21 years of age, approx.
Better book an online appointment or an in hospital appointment with me. So we can discuss more options for progressive myopia (rapidly increasing).
it would help you understand more things in detail.
