Aceclidine is a cholinergic muscarinic agonist that stimulates muscarinic receptors located on smooth muscles. Aceclidine is a predominately pupil selective miotic that interacts with the iris with minimal ciliary muscle stimulation. Aceclidine causes contraction of the iris sphincter muscle, resulting in a pinhole effect that extends depth of focus to improve vision. |
