Uncommon side effects include sensitivity to bright lights and blurred reading vision. However, these side effects are totally reversible once the treatment is discontinued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lineheight\">The use of the atropine eye drops is very common in Asian countries where myopia prevalence in children is very high.
