Used to produce mydriasis and cycloplegia for refraction (e.g., retina and optic disc examination, measurement of refractive error). However, because of long duration of action relative to that of other anticholinergic agents, atropine is seldom, if ever, used for cycloplegic refraction in adults.

In rare cases, ophthalmic atropine use may be necessary to achieve maximal cycloplegia in pediatric patients, but cyclopentolate is more frequently used.

Management of acute inflammatory conditions (e.g., iridocyclitis) of the iris and uveal tract (e.g., uveitis).

Used for cycloplegic effects in the treatment of suppression amblyopia (lazy eye) to reduce the visual acuity of the unaffected eye below that of the amblyopic one and force fixation with the amblyopic eye.
