Benefits of Myoped Eye Drop for your child

In Treatment of Myopia

Myopia or nearsightedness is an eye disorder in which your child may have difficulty seeing distant objects but can see objects that are near clearly. Childhood myopia can be diagnosed at a very early age and can increase gradually from adolescence to adulthood. A low dose of Myoped Eye Drop, if started at an early age, can significantly slow down the progression of myopia, preventing the progression of near-sightedness in the future. Myoped Eye Drop helps treat myopia by relaxing the muscles, enabling the eyes to focus on distant objects.

Side effects of Myoped Eye Drop in children

Myoped Eye Drop does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children. In case the side effects do occur, they’re likely to subside once the body adapts to the medicine. Consult your child’s doctor if these side effects persist or bother your child. The most common side effects include-

How can I give Myoped Eye Drop to my child?

This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off extra liquid.

How Myoped Ophthalmic Solution works

Myopia in children commonly occurs due to a problem in their focus mechanism. Myoped Eye Drop belongs to a class of medicines called anticholinergic drugs. It works by relaxing particularly those eye muscles which enable the eyes to focus on distant objects.

FAQs

What is the best time to use Myoped Eye Drop?

Myoped Eye Drop can be given at any time of the day as prescribed by the doctor. However, it is best to use it just before your child retires to bed since Myoped Eye Drop can cause temporary blurring of vision.

My child is 10 years old and has blurred vision (myopia). Is Myoped Eye Drop the right choice?

Myoped Eye Drop is usually given to young children to prevent the progression of myopia. In older children, where myopia has already been progressed, Myoped Eye Drop is not known to have any beneficial effect. Therefore, in this case, avoid giving Myoped Eye Drop to your child and consult your child’s doctor.

What if I give too much of Myoped Eye Drop by mistake?

Excessive use of Myoped Eye Drop in children can cause anticholinergic effects (dry mouth), cardiovascular changes (fast heart rate, irregular heartbeat), and central nervous system effects (confusion, restlessness, hallucinations, convulsions). Therefore, it is advised not to give more than the recommended dose.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Myoped Eye Drop?

Myoped Eye Drop may interact with other medicines or eye drops. Check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child along with Myoped Eye Drop.

How to store Myoped Eye Drop at home?

Myoped Eye Drop is for external use only and should be stored out of the sight and reach of children. Keep Myoped Eye Drop upright at room temperature in a dry place away from light.
