Benefits of Tropin Paediatric 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 Tropin Paediatric 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. Tropin Paediatric Eye Drop helps treat myopia by relaxing the muscles, enabling the eyes to focus on distant objects.
