Миоз (Miosis, Myosis)

Miosis (Miosis, Myosis) - constriction of the pupils. Typically seen in bright light, permanent miosis sometimes develops as a result of certain eye drops used to treat glaucoma.

Miosis is a reflex constriction of the pupil that occurs when exposed to bright light. This is a normal reaction of the eye to regulate the amount of light entering the retina.

However, in some cases, miosis may be permanent and independent of lighting. This may be caused by the use of certain medications, particularly miotic eye drops, which are used to treat glaucoma. Miotics constrict the pupil, reducing intraocular pressure. But their long-term use sometimes leads to persistent constriction of the pupils.

Thus, miosis is usually a normal reaction of the eye, but in some cases it may indicate side effects of drug therapy. For comparison, the opposite condition is mydriasis, that is, dilation of the pupils.

Miosis is a constriction of the pupil of the eye, which usually occurs in bright light. However, if the miosis is persistent, it may be caused by certain glaucoma eye drops, which can cause permanent pupil constriction.

Mydriasis is a dilation of the pupil that occurs under the influence of certain medications or when using special means, for example, in the treatment of glaucoma or during operations.

In comparison, mydriasis and miosis are two different conditions that can be caused by different reasons.

Miosis or myopia (miosis, myopia) is a symptom of myopia, more often referred to by the abbreviation MiA and is considered as a component of the myopic syndrome. Constriction of the pupil of dystrophic pathologies may be one of the manifestations of the disease or a side effect of certain types of therapy. To identify this refractive error of the visual organs, a special test is performed using different types of light sources.
