What exactly are the eye drops used in ptosis assessment pre-op please? (photos)

leep
I am considering ptosis treatment. On several reviews of ptosis correction surgery, there is mention of doctors using eyedrops as part of the ptosis assessment pre-op. There is even a review with pictures of eyes with and without the eyedrops. Please explain in medical terms what exactly the eyedrops do, and how it helps to assess ptosis. thank you
