mydriasis
1. Dilatation of the pupil. 2. The condition of an eye having an abnormally large pupil diameter (5 mm in daylight). The condition may be due to a paralysis of the sphincter pupillae muscle, to an irritation of the sympathetic pathway, to a drug (e.g. atropine, homatropine), or to adaptation to darkness. See miosis; dilator pupillae muscle; mydriatic; pupil.
