    This document discusses several drugs that affect the pupil size and focusing ability of the eye, including atropine, pilocarpine, and phenylephrine. Atropine causes the pupils to dilate (mydriasis) and prevents focusing (cycloplegia) by blocking the muscarinic receptors in the eye. Pilocarpine causes constricted pupils (miosis) by activating muscarinic receptors. Excess miosis can cause the iris to adhere to the cornea or lens, forming synechiae. The document seeks to explain the mechanisms and effects of these drugs as well as their uses, adverse effects, and alternatives.
