Benefits of Atrone Eye Drop

In Treatment of Myopia

Myopia or nearsightedness is an eye disorder in which you have difficulty seeing distant objects but can see objects that are near clearly. Atrone 1% Eye Drop helps treat myopia by relaxing the muscles which enable the eyes to focus on distant objects. Use Atrone 1% Eye Drop as prescribed by your doctor.

In Treatment of Uveitis

The middle layer in the inner wall of the eye is called the uvea and any inflammation in this layer is called uveitis. This may cause sudden noticeable symptoms such as pain, redness, blurred vision, swelling etc. It may even occur after an eye procedure of surgery such as cataract surgery. Atrone 1% Eye Drop helps relieve these symptoms and improves eye health. It should be used as advised by the doctor to get the most benefit.

How Atrone Eye Drop works

Atrone 1% 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 Atrone 1% Eye Drop dilates the pupils and temporarily paralyzes the focusing muscle inside the eye. It also relaxes the eyes' focusing mechanisms. This treats myopia.
