All of the following are the effects of atropine in anterior uveitis, EXCEPT:
Ans:C.)Decreases Blood Flow. Mode of action of Atropine in iridocyclitis : (i) gives comfo and rest to the eye by relieving spasm of iris sphincter and ciliary muscle, (ii) prevents the formation of synechiae and may break the already formed synechiae, (iii) reduces exudation by decreasing hyperaemia and vascular permeability and(iv) increases the blood supply to anterior uvea by relieving pressure on the anterior ciliary aeries. As a result more antibodies reach the target tissues and more toxins are absorbed.
Rest to the ciliary muscle
Increase supply of antibody
Decreases blood flow
Prevents posterior synechia formation
