If an underlying cause is not found, anticholinergic medication can help, such as atropine, scopolamine, or even benadryl. The blood in your sputum is concerning, this needs to be checked by your doctor since that does not commonly accompany sialorrhea.
I just want to know if wear soft contact lenses vs glasses can have negative impact on his progression of myopia. My opthomologsit seems fine with my decision going for contact lenses but am still bit worried.
Any suggestions welcome.Thanks.
A common cause of a unilateral dilated pupil is inadvertent instillation of dilating eye drops, such as Neosynephrine, Atropine, or OTC drops which "get the red out". If you have any of these drops at home, even if you instill them in someone else's eye, you may accidentally instill some of the medication in your eye if you touch or rub your eye.

What is the best way to wean off the scopolamine patch in an elderly person? Can we use the cream instead and slowly increase the time between use?
Please refer doctor in los angles that could provide Atropine treatment for myopia control.... thanks.
I had an inflammation in my eye which made my eye red. I got my eye dilated with atropine and now it's more than a month now my vision is still blurred and pupil is still extremely dilated. My vision was blurry even before I used atropine and Maxidrol eye ointment. Ofloxacin was the eye drop I was using before atropine. Doctor told me that I should have my vision back in two weeks and asked me to stop using atropine and prescribed hypromellose.
I recently went on a a 7 day cruise and wore the scopolamine patch from the first day and changed at 3 days. A total of 2 patches. I removed the patch the day I got home within 24 hours of removal I became very ill vomiting and nauseated. This continured throughout the next day. I called the Dr. and she told me to take dramamine. I remembered I had one patch left so I applied the patch again. Within 3 hours I was feeling better and that next day began to feel better.
I was asked to have 2 drops of Atropine per day to keep the pupil dilated. However, having the pupil dilated cause the vision very blur.
I don't have any pain or uncomfortable since 2 weeks ago. When can I stop the Atropine ?
My surgeon is on vacation till 2 weeks later and I cannot ask him this question until 2 weeks later. Even worse, the effect of the Atropine will not disappear until 14 days I stop using it.
I have been doing atropine drops for 5 days now in my right eye with the filters. I have tried prism glasses that doesnt work at all to take away double vision. first question is how long can i do the atropine drops for?My second questions is the doc wants to do atropine drops in my left eye if i still have double vision with doing atropine in my right eye, is this really going to work?
Was sent to hospital for further checks and found hyphema which was treated with atropine,1 x drop a day and sufradex 6 x a day.After 10 days now hyphema has settled and he has been off the atropine for the last 2 days but his pupils are still dilated.Doctor said they may always stay a little larger due to tiny muscle tears but if his pupils were fine right after trauma i am left wondering is the doctor right?Is this still the effects of atropine or will the pupils always be dilated?
Please refer few doctors that will provide Atropine treatment or therapy for myopia control. My boy's myopia gets worse every year!!
No atropine does not cause tears or permanent dilated pupil. Atropine is often used with trauma to the eye to reduce inflammation, prevent bleeding, reduce pain and rest the focus muscle. It's the trauma that does it not atropine.
At 5 weeks even in light colored blue or green iris the atropine should be metabolized and gone.
I defenitly notice that light is more bright after my second dose of Ritalin. In the morning when my eyes are dropped with Atropine and I have taken my first dose, I only notice bright light cause of the Atropine. But when I've taken my second dose of Ritalin I notice the light is much more brighter after 20-30 minutes, which will last till late night.
Although I still have some questions, cause will Cyclogyl dilate the pupil larger then Atropine?
I am feeling a little confused as one doctor I saw three weeks after stopping the atropine said it would definitely not be the atropine after three weeks, and I should come back a month later and perhaps have an operation to loosen or remove the buckle if the symptom persisted; when I did return a month later, the doctor I saw (different from the first) said the atropine was the cause of the pupil being dilated. I believe she checked the pressure in the eye and thought that seemed alright.
Hagan for your reply, So in your opinion is it worth trying to do ortho k and see if my son adjusted to it because I am not even how he will take it. If that wont work then i will have only atropine drops option to try that might help slow the progression. In your opinion which could be out of these two are is bes option to try on his high myopia.
Please reply.
Thanks.
Depends on how big the tear. Most large tears separate the constrictor muscle and it does not grow back normally.
He came home with OptiVet drops, antibiotic eye ointment, atropine ophthalmic ointment, and Rimadyl. He has not had the atropine ointment in about 48 hours and his pupil is still very dilated. Is this normal?
would approach this as symptomatic bradycardia -- if the patient is having frequent PVCs, the true pulse rate would be lower than that measured on the monitor, so a rate of 50-60s could often mean a true pulse of 40s. Atropine, transcutaneous pacing, IVF, even epinepherine could be used.
He had stitches put on. After this surgery his pupil was normal size. He was put on atropine 4 times a day for 12 days and other drops. Four days later ( after the stiches surgery) he had cataract surgery but didn't t receive an iol. It has been a month now since he stopped atropine but the pupil is still large. He has light skin and green iris.
I went to a glaucome specialist to get tips on eye pressure. He advised me to use atropine 3 times a day. I have. Pressure was up to 6 very quickly. That was 2 weeks ago. It was measured at 5 yesterday. I am very grateful and the consensus of 3 doctors is that the prognosis is good for the life of the eye.
The two retinologists say that it cannot be said for certain that the atropine raised my pressure.
