Mydriasis

• Mydriasis is generally referred to as an eye
  condition in which the pupil of the eye of a
  person finds difficulty in countering light and
  they become smaller than they normally ought to
  be.In mydriasis, the pupils open and close when
  exposed to light and dimness. Dilation or
  broadening of the pupil is usual in situations of
  low light for allowing more light to reach the
  retina.In case of mydriasis, the muscles play a
  vital role for opening as well as closing the
  colored portion of the eye, also called the iris.
  When this process gets disturbed, the pupil takes
  more time to shrink.

Causes of Mydriasis

• Mydriasis is habitually produced by stimulant
  use, such as caffeine, amphetamines and different
  stimulating elements. It is also likely to happen
  through epileptic confiscations. The trauma of
  the head and neck too harm the cranial nerves,
  which hoard the eyes cause this
  problem.Mydriasis can turn out to be an
  identification of brain swelling, which is the
  result of ocular nerves pressure. There are some
  other general conditions too like aneurysm,
  fungal and viral infections, botulism and
  conditions that are capable of damaging nerves
  and brain tumors cause mydriasis.

Symptoms of Mydriasis

• People who are affected by mydriasis are very
  much sensitive to light. As in mydriasis, the
  pupil doesnt narrow to block extra light and the
  exposure to light turns out to be much
  painful.Moreover, the patients suffering from
  mydriasis gets blurred vision as the pupil is
  needed to shrivel in the light for illuminating
  the vision.In the majority of situations,
  affected people do not ever sense any symptom.
  The most noticeable symptom of mydriasis is
  obviously pupil dilation.

Treatment of Mydriasis

• Usually, mydriasis is treated by discovering and
  curing the condition responsible for it. When
  mydriasis is caused due to brain injury or head
  trauma then the swelling of the brain is treated
  first.When mydriasis occurred is the result of
  exposure to drugs or chemicals, and then the
  physicians stop the use of these compounds.When
  mydriasis is produced by medicines for dilating
  the pupil for testing then the doctor advises the
  patient to keep himself away from direct sunlight
  by wearing sunglass so that the inner part of his
  eyes do not get affected.However, there are
  certain medicines, which can cure mydriasis when
  none of the aforementioned conditions are
  responsible and they are Scopolamine,
  phenylephrine drops, atropine, steroids,
  pilocarpine and sometimes a combination of
  scopolamine and atropine.
