Atropine acts in different ways to treat, mostly, myopic children by preventing accommodation thereby reducing the progression. It also has been known to affect the release of the dopamine neurotransmitter which has an influence on the retina and its signals sent along the optic tract1. Growth Hormone (GH) is also
