Mydriacyl Eye Drops are used to cause mydriasis (pupil dilation) and cycloplegia (paralysis of the ciliary muscle of the eye) before an eye examination. It works by blocking certain receptors found in the eye to relax or provide short-term paralysis of the eye muscles temporarily.

Usually, Mydriacyl eye drops for refraction are one or two drops of 1% solution instilled in the eye(s), repeated in five minutes. To use the Mydriacyl eye drops:

• Wash and dry your hands before and after using the eye drops. 
• Shake the bottle well. 
• Tilt your head backward and look up. Then, gently pull your lower eyelid down to form a small pocket and squeeze one drop of medication into this pocket.
• Don't blink or wipe your eyes. Close your eyes while pressing a finger against the inside corner of your eye for about 1 minute to help keep the medication in your eye.
• Please don't touch the dropper tip to any surface to avoid contaminating it.

After Mydriacyl eye drops are applied to your eyes:

• Your pupils will become unusually large, and you will have blurring of vision, especially for close objects. Make sure your vision is clear before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you cannot see well.
• Your eyes will become more sensitive to light than they are normally. When you go out during the daylight hours, even on cloudy days, wear sunglasses that block ultraviolet (UV) light to protect your eyes from sunlight and other bright lights. 
• Check with your doctor if these effects continue for longer than 24 hours after the medicine is used.
