Pupillary dilation may result from the use of various medications—such as atropine gel or epinephrine—or from ocular trauma. It can also be associated with glaucoma; additionally, optic nerve damage may lead to pupillary dilation. Patients are advised to seek evaluation at a reputable hospital’s ophthalmology department and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified ophthalmologist.
