Can i prevent having small pupils while on painkillers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Really: Pain killers (opioids) can cause small pupils or pupillary constriction known medically as miosis. This is generally a dose related phenomenon and the pupils will become pinpoint at higher doses. There is no way to reverse this unless you stop the medication.
