Tropicamide is widely used in ophthalmology as a short-acting mydriatic agent to dilate the pupil and temporarily paralyze the ciliary muscle of the eye. This allows eye care professionals to conduct thorough eye examinations, including retinal inspections and refraction assessments. Its rapid onset and short duration make it ideal for diagnostic procedures, minimizing patient discomfort and ensuring efficient clinical workflow. Additionally, it is sometimes used in eye surgeries to maintain pupil dilation during the procedure. Tropicamide is also employed in veterinary medicine for similar diagnostic purposes in animals. Its effectiveness and safety profile have established it as a standard tool in eye care practices.
