Why the interest in Atropine NVK-002?
There is a long history of using atropine to stop the progression of myopia that in recent decades has been validated by clinical trials. However, the FDA is yet to approve a low-dose atropine formulation, leading physicians to refer patients to compounding pharmacies.
Nevakar is positioning NVK-002 as a more consistent and stable formulation that is sterile and preservative-free. Other companies including Eyenovia and Sydnexis are developing similar products.Specially formulated atropine can reduce the. progress of myopia in children.
In the USA, Singapore and China it used routinely.
New formulation of Atropine are to be released during 2022 to add to the ways of controlling myopia. Perhaps the simplest and in the control of parents hands, it can be used as a stand alone or in addition to specialist glasses and contact lenses to improve control.
Minimal tears and well accepted by parents and adults.

Myopia is a stretch of eye tissues that over time increase the risk of severe visual loss.
