-==Overview==
-==Differential diagnosis of causes of miosis==
-=== Age ===
-The likelihood of suffering miosis increases with age.
-=== Diseases ===
-* [[Horner syndrome]] (a set of abnormalities in the nervous supply of the face due to damage to the [[sympathetic nervous system]]).
-* [[Pancoast tumor]] (a [[lung cancer|tumor]] of the apical [[lung]]), due to damage to the ascending sympathetic tract that would normally cause the pupil to dilate.
-* [[Hemorrhage]] into [[pons]] ([[intracranial hemorrhage]])
-=== Drugs ===
-* [[Opioid]]s such as [[tramadol]], [[codeine]], [[morphine]], [[heroin]] and [[methadone]]
-* [[Antipsychotics]], including [[haloperidol]], [[thorazine]], [[olanzapine]], [[quetiapine]] and others
-* [[Cholinergic]] agents such as those used to treat [[Alzheimer's disease]] and [[nerve gas]]es; cholinergic drugs such as [[carbachol]] (Miostat) and [[neostigmine]]
-* Some cancer [[chemotherapy]] drugs, including [[camptothecin]] derivatives
-* [[Mirtazapine]], a [[noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant]] ([[NaSSA]])
-* [[Trazodone]]
-* Some [[MAO_inhibitor|MAO Inhibitors]].
-* In some rare cases, when exposed to [[mustard gas]].
-===Miotics===
-A '''miotic''' substance causes the constriction of the [[pupil]] of the eye (or [[miosis]]). It is the opposite of a [[Mydriatic]] substance, which causes [[dilation]] of the pupil.
