#3 The Myopia Podcast - Jeff Walline: Why Atropine in Myopia Management
Description
Why do we think Atropine works? If you think it is because of accommodation, think again. We also discuss concentrations and the studies leading to how I use atropine in my practice. Also, Jeff speaks about a recent study talking about what your patients will experience when they use atropine. Jeff's work in the area of Myopia has been so influential in my myopia practice.
