Atropine ophthalmic causes the muscles in your eye to become relaxed. This widens your
pupil. Your pupil will remain wide and will not respond to light.
Atropine ophthalmic is used to dilate (widen) your pupil when you have an
inflammatory condition or in postsurgery situations in which this effect may be helpful.
Atropine ophthalmic may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this
medication guide.
