Tropicamide, sold under the brand name Mydriacyl among others, is a medication used to dilate the pupil and help with examination of the eye. [3] Specifically it is used to help examine the back of the eye. [4] It is applied as eye drops. [3] Effects occur within 40 minutes and last for up to a day. [3]
A constriction response , [2] is the narrowing of the pupil, which may be caused by scleral buckles or drugs such as opiates/opioids or anti-hypertension medications. Constriction of the pupil occurs when the circular muscle , controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS), contracts, and also to an extent when the radial muscle relaxes.
Next, constriction of the pupil occurs. Because the lens cannot refract light rays at the edges well, the image produced by the lens is blurry around the edges so the pupil constricts when one attempts to focus on nearby objects. [citation needed] Lastly, accommodation of the lens occurs. This is an alteration in the curvature of the lens that ...
When light is shone into only one eye and not the other, it is normal for both pupils to constrict simultaneously. The terms direct and consensual refers to the side where the light source comes from, relative to the side of the reacting pupil. A direct pupillary reflex is pupillary response to light that enters the ipsilateral (same) eye.
[1] [5] As an eye drop it is used to manage angle closure glaucoma until surgery can be performed, ocular hypertension, primary open angle glaucoma, and to constrict the pupil after dilation. [1] [6] [7] However, due to its side effects, it is no longer typically used for long-term management. [8]
The pupil constricts when the iris sphincter muscle is stimulated and contracts In humans, it functions to constrict the pupil in bright light ( pupillary light reflex ) or during accommodation . [ citation needed ] In lower animals, the muscle cells themselves are photosensitive causing iris action without brain input.

Carbachol eyedrops are used to decrease the pressure in the eye for people with glaucoma. It is sometimes used to constrict the pupils during cataract surgery. Topical ocular administration is used to decrease intraocular pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. Intraocular administration is used to produce miosis after lens ...
