yes, the mydriatic eye drops. mydriatic eye drops produce pupil dilatation (mydriasis) and paralysis of the ciliary body (cycloplegia). It is important for mydriatic eye drops to be used in anterior uveitis as they provide pain relief, prevent posterior synechiae formation and also break any posterior synechiae that have already formed. Posterior synechiae can cause permanent pupil irregularity and can, if extensive, cause glaucoma. Short acting mydriatic eye drops allow the dilated pupil to remain mobile and possibly less likely to develop posterior synechiae if the inflammation is mild.

Yes, these are called MIOTIC Drugs. They constrict the pupils. Examples are Pilocarpine and Carbachol. They control intraocular pressure.

A doctor can give you reversal drops, but you have to ask for them.
