• Eye Pain

  Mydriatic eye drops, such as atropine or cyclopentolate, dilate the pupil and help the eye to heal. It also helps with eye pain and stops the pupil from sticking to the lens. [medicalnewstoday.com]

  A detailed explanation of HLA-B27 and those diseases associated with HLA-B27 is found elsewhere on this website, but the most common association with AAU is ankylosing spondylitis, an inflmmatory arthritis associated with HLA B27. [eyewiki.aao.org]
