Atropine has been used in medical practice for decades and is one of the essential emergency drugs. Its applications in ophthalmology have also followed a long trajectory. Therefore, this review is intended to explore the various uses of Atropine in ophthalmology. Atropine uses in strict ophthalmic indications have extensive diagnostic and therapeutic outlay including Examination under anesthesia, cycloplegic refraction, myopia, and amblyopic management, post trabeculectomy management, synechiae treatment, floppy iris syndrome, and uveitis management. The side effects have been shown to be dose-dependent with no long-term sequelae. Atropine has remained an important medicine in ophthalmic practice globally.
