What is the effect of Tropicamide Eyedrops?

Currently, the condition of myopia among teenagers is very common, and many of them suffer from refractive errors, blurred vision, pseudomyopia, and other symptoms. Tropicamide eye drops can be used to treat these conditions, helping teenagers with dilated pupils and poor vision. Tropicamide eye drops are alternatives to atropine, and there are many considerations during use to reduce their side effects on the human body.

Function of Tropicamide Eye Drops

Tropicamide eye drops are clinically used as a ciliary muscle paralyzing agent for the treatment of pseudomyopia. Myopia occurs when light enters the refractive system of the eye and is refracted, resulting in the focal point being in front of the retina. True myopia and pseudomyopia are two types of myopia. If the uncorrected visual acuity reaches 1.0, the patient has pseudomyopia, and Tropicamide eye drops can be used to relieve ciliary muscle spasms during treatment.

Application of Tropicamide Eye Drops

Tropicamide eye drops can be applied topically or instilled into the eye. Use the middle finger and thumb to gently open the eye, instill 1-2 drops, and then close the eye for 1 minute after instillation. This allows the eye drops to be absorbed effectively.

Side Effects of Tropicamide Eye Drops

Side effects of Tropicamide eye drops may include facial flushing, mild dilation of pupils, dry mouth and tongue, blurred vision for near objects, similar to atropine. The tachycardia phenomenon will disappear within 3 hours after medication. Special considerations: If there is glaucoma or acute cerebral hemorrhage, Tropicamide eye drops should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to avoid aggravating the condition. When using Tropicamide eye drops, other treatment methods should not be neglected, and the use of antibacterial drugs should also be noted. Those with elevated intraocular pressure should not use them.
