- Not to be confused with meiosis, mitosis, or myositis. Miosis or myosis, /maɪˈoʊ sɪs/, from Ancient Greek μύειν, mūein, to close the eyes, is a term with various definitions, which generally include constriction of the pupil.

Mydriasis Mydriasis /mɨˈdraɪ.əsɪs/ is the dilation of the pupil, usually defined as when having a non-physiological cause, but sometimes defined as potentially being a physiological pupillary response.Non-physiological causes of mydriasis include disease, trauma, or the use of drugs.ore generally, mydriasis also refers to the natural dilation of pupils, for instance in low light conditions or under sympathetic stimulation. An informal term for mydriasis is blown pupil, and is used by medical providers.

Mydriasis Sympathetic stimulation of the adrenergic receptors causes the contraction of the radial muscle and subsequent dilation of the pupil. Conversely, parasympathetic stimulation causes contraction of the circular muscle and constriction of the pupil. The mechanism of mydriasis depends on the agent being used.

Myiasis Colloquialisms for myiasis include flystrike and blowfly strike, and the victim or the tissue may be described as fly-blown. The name of the condition derives from ancient Greek μυῖα (myia), meaning fly.ow myiasis affects the human body depends on where the larvae are located. Larvae may infect dead, necrotic (prematurely dying) or living tissue in various sites: the skin, eyes, ears, stomach and intestinal tract, or in genitourinary sites.

- The opposite of cross-eyed is wall-eyed, but any kind of deviation from both eyeballs pointing straight ahead is called strabismus. The technical terms for these conditions are esotropia (cross-eyed) and exotropia (wandering eyes, or walleyed).Hypertropia is when one eye wanders up. About 5 percent of all children have some degree of strabismus, which most of the time can be corrected with surgery.he opposite of cross-eyed is wall-eyed, but any kind of deviation from both eyeballs pointing straight ahead is called strabismus.

Mydriasis The parasympathetic nervous supply, which causes constriction of the pupil, or miosis, is supplied by cranial nerve III, the oculomotor nerve. Damage to this nerve typically manifests itself as mydriasis, because the sympathetic supply to the pupil, which causes mydriasis, remains unaffected, and therefore unopposed.

- This condition is sometimes called “dancing eyes.” Read More. Nystagmus is a condition that causes involuntary, rapid movement of one or both eyes. Nystagmus often occurs with vision problems, including blurriness. This condition is sometimes called “dancing eyes.” Symptoms of nystagmus. The symptoms include fast, uncontrollable eye movements. The direction of movement determines the type of nystagmus: Horizontal nystagmus involves side-to-side eye movements. Vertical nystagmus involves up-and-down eye movements. Rotary, or torsional, nystagmus involves circular movements. These movements may occur in one or both eyes depending on the cause.

Mydriasis A mydriatic is an agent that induces dilation of the pupil. Drugs such as tropicamide are used in medicine to permit examination of the retina and other deep structures of the eye, and also to reduce painful ciliary muscle spasm (see cycloplegia).

mydriatic 1. Causing mydriasis of the pupil. 2. A drug which produces mydriasis. Mydriatics are used to carry out a thorough inspection of the fundus and lens, especially in elderly patients in whom the pupils are usually smaller. However, in older people it must be ascertained that the patient does not have glaucoma.
