Mydriatic

Mydriatic is a type of medication that is used to dilate the pupils of the eyes. This is done for a variety of medical reasons, such as to allow for a better examination of the eyes, to treat certain types of glaucoma, or to help diagnose certain eye diseases. Mydriatic works by causing the muscles in the eyes to relax, allowing the pupils to widen. This allows more light to enter the eyes, which helps the doctor to perform a better examination. Additionally, the increased light can help to better diagnose certain diseases and can help to reduce intraocular pressure in the eyes, which can help treat certain types of glaucoma.
