ATROSULPH DROPS 5ML

ATROSULPH DROPS 5ML eye drops are used for several eye conditions and procedures in children. They may be prescribed for the following uses:

• Slowing progressive nearsightedness: ATROSULPH DROPS 5ML helps reduce the rapid worsening of myopia in school-aged children, helping to protect their long-term vision.
• Widening the pupil (mydriasis): It is used before eye examinations so the eye specialist can get a clear view of the back of the eye.
• Relaxing eye muscles (cycloplegia): It temporarily relaxes the eye's focusing muscles to help measure refractive errors accurately.
• Treating eye inflammation: It helps relieve pain and reduces inflammation in conditions like uveitis by keeping the pupil dilated and resting the painful muscles inside the eye.

ATROSULPH DROPS 5ML provides benefits that support both the treatment of eye conditions and accurate eye examinations. Its key benefits include:

• Helps slow myopia progression: Regular use may reduce the rate at which nearsightedness worsens in children, helping lower the risk of developing high myopia and its associated complications later in life.
• Relieves pain from eye inflammation: By relaxing the muscles inside the eye, it helps reduce pain, muscle spasms, and discomfort caused by inflammatory eye conditions.
• Supports accurate eye examinations: Dilating the pupil and relaxing the eye's focusing muscles enables more precise eye assessments and accurate measurement of vision problems.
• Protects long-term eye health: By managing progressive myopia and supporting appropriate treatment of eye conditions, ATROSULPH DROPS 5ML contributes to maintaining healthier vision over time.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use. Typically, it is used once daily at night time.
• Gently tilt your child's head backward. Carefully pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Instill the prescribed number of drops into the pocket.
• Avoid touching the container tip to the eye or eyelids to prevent contamination.
• Replace the cap tightly after each use.

• Encourage outdoor play: Research suggests that children who spend at least 2 hours daily in natural outdoor light show slower rates of nearsightedness progression.
• Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Encourage your child to take a break every 20 minutes from reading or screens to look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
• Limit recreational screen time: Reduce the amount of time your child spends on smartphones, tablets, and computers to help minimise near-work eye strain.
• Protect sensitive eyes: Since ATROSULPH DROPS 5ML makes the eyes sensitive to light, have your child wear sunglasses that block UV rays and a wide-brimmed hat when playing outdoors in bright sunlight.
• Ensure good lighting: Make sure your child's study and play areas are well-lit to prevent additional eye strain during reading or writing.

• Inspect the solution before use: Do not use the eye drops if the liquid appears cloudy, discoloured, or contains visible particles.
• Keep the dropper tip sterile: Never allow the dropper tip to touch your child's eye, fingers, or any other surface to avoid contamination.
• Perform tear duct occlusion: After instilling the drops, gently press the inner corner of your child's eye for 1 to 2 minutes to reduce absorption into the bloodstream and minimise side effects.
• Remove contact lenses before application: If your child wears contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
• Attend regular eye check-ups: Keep all scheduled follow-up appointments so your eye care professional can monitor your child's vision and response to treatment.
