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.
