    What Are Dilating Eye Drops?
    Revisado por Brenda Pagan-Duran MD
    Dec. 04, 2018

    Las pupilas son los orificios redondos de color negro que se encuentran en el centro del iris (la parte de color del ojo). El iris abre y cierra la pupila para permitir que ingrese más o menos luz al ojo.

    Para que su oftalmólogo pueda mirar dentro de los ojos, sus pupilas deben estar dilatadas (agrandadas). Las gotas para dilatar los ojos agrandan las pupilas y evitan que se achiquen cuando el médico aplica luz en los ojos.
