Constricted Pupils

Constricted pupils refer to abnormally small pupils, often caused by opioids or certain medications, affecting vision and response to light.

What are Constricted Pupils?

Constricted pupils, medically known as miosis, occur when the pupils of the eyes become unusually small, often as a result of opioid use or certain medications. This condition can reduce the amount of light entering the eyes, making it harder to see in dim lighting.

Constricted pupils are often a sign of opioid intoxication or overdose and may also indicate other medical conditions. Managing the underlying cause is essential in addressing this symptom.
