Abstract: A method for optimizing pupil size in individuals suffering from excessive pupillary dilation in dim light as well as through medication is disclosed. Alpha 1 antagonist is applied in an eye drop formulation to the eye, resulting in reduced pupil size in dim light, but less reduction in pupil size in bright light.
Abstract: The present invention is an eye preparation comprising a hydrophobic composition adapted for use on a contact lens inserted into a patient's eye and having a viscosity of 1 to 15,000 centistokes. The composition includes a silicone polymer, fluorinated silicone polymer, fluorocarbon polymer, fluorinated alcohol, or perfluorinated polyether composition, singly or blended, adapted to coat at least a portion of a contact lens inserted in a patient's eye. Silicone polymers for use in the invention include dimethicone, cyclomethicone, and silicone gums.
