You likely can't join if
- Have known contraindications or sensitivity to atropine, the study medications, or their components

- Have had surgical intervention (ocular or systemic) within 6 months prior to Visit 1, or planned surgical intervention during the study
- Use any of the following disallowed medications or therapies by any route of administration during the 2 weeks (14 days) prior to Visit 2 (Day 1): a. any prescription or over the counter ophthalmic products (Use of preservative-free artificial tears is allowed but may not be used within 2 hours of administration of study medication. Use of lubricating ointment form of artificial tears before bedtime is allowed but must be used at least 15 minutes after administration of study medication) b. monoamine oxidase inhibitors c. atropine, pirenzepine, or other anti-muscarinic agent d. any medication affecting the pupil or accommodation e. orthoK, rigid gas-permeable, bifocal, progressive-addition, multi-focal, or other lenses to reduce myopia progression In addition, Groups b–e above are not allowed for the duration of the study.
- The anticipated need to use chronic ophthalmic or systemic oral corticosteroids during the study. Intranasal, inhaled, topical dermatologic, intra-articular, perianal steroids, and short-term oral steroids (< 2 weeks) are permitted
- Participation in any other study of investigational therapy during the study period or within 30 Days before Visit 1

- Ireland, Slovakia, Spain, US, China: Females of childbearing potential agree to have urine pregnancy testing performed at screening (must be negative); must not be lactating; and must agree to use a medically acceptable form of birth control throughout the study duration (i.e., Spermicide with barrier, oral contraceptive, injectable or implantable method of contraception, transdermal contraceptive, intrauterine device, or surgical sterilization of partner).

Females of childbearing potential include all females who have experienced menarche and have not undergone successful surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy).
