What is the term for an eye drop that causes constriction of the pupil?

Cycloplegic
Miotic
Mydriatic
Topical

The correct answer is: Miotic

A miotic is an eye drop that causes constriction of the pupil. This effect is opposite to what mydriatics do, which dilate the pupil. Cycloplegics are used to paralyze the ciliary muscle of the eye, while topical refers to the form of administration of the eye drop.
