Key points

  • Mydriasis often occurs alongside cycloplegia, where the eye temporarily loses its ability to focus on nearby objects.
  • Neurological conditions can produce persistent pupil dilation as a side effect of treatment.
  • A clinical eye examination is used to confirm mydriasis and assess how the pupil responds to light.
