"Mydriatic" is a word that may sound familiar to some people, especially those interested in medicine or ophthalmology. But what are “mydriatic agents” and how are they used? This is a means for dilating pupils, which contribute to visual improvement and improvement of eye function in various pathologies. In this article we will look at the main and most famous mydriatics and their use in medicine.
Antiglaucoma mydrikaica
One of the most famous mydriatic drugs is atropine. It is an alkaloid derived from belladonna and is used to treat glaucoma as well as other purposes such as cosmetology. Atropine has mydriatic properties, making it an effective tool for dilating the pupil. Today, when using mydriactics in the process of diagnosing and treating glaucoma, laser methods and other innovative technologies are often used that make it possible to more accurately diagnose and treat this disease.
How Mydriatica works in the treatment of glaucoma.
When using Mydriatiya in the treatment of glaucoma of the patient's eye, drops of Mydriatiya ophthalmic solution are administered and the medicine begins to act within a few minutes. The patient feels a slight feeling of discomfort, weakness and fatigue. However, this goes away within 5 minutes after administration of the drug. Pupil dilation allows you to see eye structures, such as blood vessels and other elements of the retina, as clearly as ever. At the same time, Midriation reduces the force of gravity, making eye pressure more normal, reduces pressure on the vessels of the eye and promotes the dilation of the vessels of the retina and the optic nerve trunk.
Dosage and side effects
Today, with the modern use of Midriatiki in the treatment of glaucoma patients in the ophthalmology department, there are strict protocols for the dosage of the medicine and recommendations for the use of drops after taking them by the doctor. For each patient, the dosage and duration of use of catheters is determined individually, taking into account the general condition of the patient and his response to the medicine. There is also a short list of side effects that a patient may experience if they abuse the drops. For example, decreased muscle tone, increased dryness, difficulty defecating, disorders of the nervous system, decreased tone of the eye reflex. Usually all manifestations are temporary and disappear after stopping the drops for several days. From my experience as an ophthalmologist, I can note that there are significantly fewer patients suffering from glaucoma among other patients seen by ophthalmologists. Most often, young patients who come to us for surgical intervention talk about glaucoma. Before treatment, the doctor must conduct a diagnosis, collect anamnesis and treatment, depending on the diagnosis and a number of other factors. I would like to warn any patient against self-medication with Mydriant without seeing and knowing the details of the diagnosis and concomitant chronic diseases, if any, without conducting an examination of the fundus, so I recommend that you trust your health to trusted specialists who know and love their work! In conclusion, I would like to say that Midriantics allows you to find out information about the condition of the eye, including its individual elements and ocular vessels, to increase the effectiveness of treatment of diseases of such an organ, provides
