This has the same effect as patching the "good" eye. More common practice is to use a patch because it can be done for a few hours per day, therefore decreasing the risk of developing amblyopia in the "good" eye. You could also use homatropine because its effects are not as long lasting and the side effects are less severe than atropine's.
