0.01% and 0.025% Atropine eye drops are specially formulated that requires the Optometrist to write a prescription and have it made by a compounding Pharmacist (not something you can just buy from the local Pharmacy). Due to the strict regulations of compounding these eye drops, not many compounding pharmacies make them. It is very important that once go on this treatment, you see the Optometrist every 6 months and make sure you don’t run out of eye drops at any point during the treatment period.
