What is Mydriacyl Eye Drops (Tropicamide) used for?

Mydriacyl Eye Drops (Tropicamide) is an ophthalmic medication prescribed to dilate the pupil prior to surgery or an eye exam. It operates by relaxing the muscles in the eye to widen the iris allowing light to be shined into the pupil without it size. Your physician may also use it to treat other conditions that are not listed here.

How should I use Mydriacyl Eye Drops (Tropicamide)?

Even though Mydriacyl Eye Drops (Tropicamide) is normally administered by your physician, you may need to use the drops on your own in some cases. To administer the drop, tilt your head back slightly and gently pull down the lower lid of the eye being treated. Hold the applicator over the eye and dispense one drop into the pouch formed by the lower lid. Gently close the eye and keep it closed for thirty seconds to allow the medication to be absorbed into the eye. Do not allow the tip of the bottle to touch any other surface, including the surface of your eye, as this may contaminate the solution. If you have any questions about using the drops, ask your pharmacist or physician to ensure the correct usage.
