Eye drops Cyclomed

Cyclomed is used to establish an accurate visual acuity

It belongs to the group of M-holinoblokatorov.

It is often used to prepare a person for an operation performed to remove cataracts.

The substance is absorbed into the tissue of the ciliary muscle, which is responsible for the pupil's actions, paralyzing it. This process is called by the fact that signals from the brain stop there to flow.
