- Miosis means excessive constriction (shrinking) of your pupil. ... Miosis can occur in one or both eyes.
- When it affects only one eye, it's also called anisocoria.
- Another name for miosis is pinpoint pupil.
- When your pupils are excessively dilated, it's called mydriasis.
USE
- Miosis, which helps to tighten and thin the peripheral iris and pull it away from the cornea, can be accomplished with a drop of pilocarpine 1% or 2%.

- The opposite condition, mydriasis, is the dilation of the pupil. Anisocoria is the condition of one pupil being more dilated than the other.
