What does MIOSIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A medical condition in which the pupil of the eye becomes abnormally small, contracting more than normal for the surrounding light.
Miosis happens when the muscles of the iris contract more than usual, making the pupil smaller than expected for the surrounding light level. It can be a natural reflex to bright light, a side effect of certain drugs such as opioids, or a sign of nerve damage or eye disease. Doctors check pupil size as one clue when diagnosing conditions that affect the nervous system.
