Mydriacyl eye drops are used to temporarily dilate the pupil, facilitating eye examinations such as retinal and lens examinations. They work by relaxing the muscles inside the eye, thus preventing the pupil from constricting, allowing more light to pass through.
Mydriacyl eye drops also help treat some cases of inflammation inside the eye that require dilation of the pupil as part of the treatment plan. The drops are placed inside the eye according to the doctor's instructions. It is necessary to wash your hands before use and avoid touching the tip of the dropper to the eye to maintain the cleanliness of the medication. Medical instructions must be followed carefully and the drops should not be used for long periods without consulting a doctor to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and avoid associated side effects.
