Ophthalmic Cycloplegics/Mydriatics

Ophthalmic cycloplegics and mydriatics comprise a therapeutic class of topical ocular medications—primarily muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists and sympathomimetic adrenergic agonists—that induce pupil dilation and temporary paralysis of the ciliary muscle

Ophthalmic cycloplegics and mydriatics comprise a therapeutic class of topical ocular medications—primarily muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists and sympathomimetic adrenergic agonists—that induce pupil dilation and temporary paralysis of the ciliary muscle By blocking parasympathetic input to the iris sphincter and ciliary body or stimulating iris dilator α-adrenergic receptors, these agents inhibit accommodation and maximize pupillary aperture
