The Prescribing Clinical Network recommends the use of Atropine for the treatment of licensed hospital indications ( including Iritis and Uveitis)

Atropine will be considered to be RED on the traffic light system.

New patients:

·         Should be initiated on Atropine 1% minims® by their consultant ophthalmologist 

·         Patients with manual dexterity issues can be initiated on Atropine 1% eye drop (bottles)

Switching patients from Atropine 1% eye drops (bottles):

Patients currently using Atropine 1% eye drops for licensed indications who do not have manual dexterity issues, should be switched to Atropine 1% minims® at their next medication review.
