tropicamide can damage?

[derci88]

hello!
i have used tropìcamide 1% eye drops to treat an accommodative spasm for 4 months, o drop in each eye, every night. and now i see ghost images with my left eye, if i put light in my eye i see normal.  i think that tropicamide damaged the sphincter muscle and the pupil remains bigger than the other eye. i have stop the treatment 3 weeks ago.
is possible that tropicamide damage the muscles eye forever?

thank you very much, and sorry for my bad english!

Tropicamide (Mydriacyl) is a mild cycloplegic used in the office for pupil dilation for comprehensive eye exams.  It is unlikely that it has permanently damaged the muscles of the iris.  If the symptoms do not resolve, see an ophthalmologist for an exam and an assessment of the pupil reactions.  Something else may be going on, unrelated to the Mydriacyl.

Thank you for the answer!
How much time should pass to recover the muscles?
