Mydriacyl Eye Drops 1% (5ml) – For Eye Dilation and Diagnostic Use
Mydriacyl Eye Drops contain 1% tropicamide, a fast-acting agent used to dilate the pupil (mydriasis) and temporarily paralyze the eye's ability to focus (cycloplegia). It is commonly used by eye care professionals during diagnostic examinations and pre-operative procedures.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Tropicamide 1% w/v
- Inactive Ingredients: Benzalkonium chloride (as preservative), edetate disodium, sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide (for pH adjustment), and purified water
How Mydriacyl Works
Tropicamide is an anticholinergic that works by blocking the muscarinic receptors in the eye. This leads to relaxation of the iris sphincter muscle, causing the pupil to dilate, and temporary paralysis of the ciliary muscle, preventing the eye from adjusting focus. These effects help doctors properly examine the retina and other internal structures of the eye.
Uses of Mydriacyl Eye Drops
- Used before eye examinations (fundoscopy, refraction tests)
- Pre-operative preparation for eye surgery
- Diagnostic procedures requiring full pupil dilation
How to Use
Use strictly under the supervision or prescription of a healthcare professional. Typically, 1 or 2 drops are applied to the eye 15–30 minutes before examination. Wash hands before and after use. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface.
Precautions
- For ophthalmic use only
- May cause blurred vision and sensitivity to light
- Do not drive or operate machinery until vision clears
- Use with caution in children and elderly patients
