In this way, not only the factors of infection expansion can be reduced, but also the concentration of local application can be ensured.

Pupil dilation can reduce the stimulation of iris, prevent posterior synechia of iris, and make the eyes at rest, which is conducive to the healing of ulcer. Atropine is a commonly used drug.
