How it works
Kaitro Eye Drop is an anticholinergic medication. It works by making the pupil of your eye larger and relaxes the muscles in your eye allowing proper examination. It also helps reduce inflammation or swelling in the eye (uveitis or iritis). Using Kaitro Eye Drop dilates the pupils and temporarily paralyzes the focusing muscle inside the eye. It also relaxes the eyes' focusing mechanisms. This treats myopia.
