Cycloplegic Refraction in Children with Cyclopentolate versus Atropine
The refracting power of the eye results from the static power of the eye (the combined ability of the cornea and the lens to bend incoming rays of light) and the accommodative power of the eye (the variable force of accommodation that alters the path of light rays by causing the ciliary body to change the curvature of the lens). The total increase in plus power that accommodation produces is kn...
متن کاملStatus of cyclopentolate as a cycloplegic in children: a comparison with atropine and homatropine.
We compared the cycloplegic effects of cyclopentolate, homatropine and atropine by the retinoscopy findings and residual accommodation left following their use in the same individual. The mean residual accommodation measured after the use of cyclopentolate, homatropine and atropine was 1.48 +/- 0.33 D, 2.32 +/- 0.37 D and 1.10 D +/- 0.28 D, respectively, and the mean difference in retinoscopy r...
متن کاملChanges of intraocular pressure and refractive status in children following cycloplegic refraction with 1% cyclopentolate and 1% tropicamide☆
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of cycloplegic mydriasis with 1% cyclopentolate and 1% tropicamide on the intraocular pressure (IOP) and refractive status of children for cycloplegic refraction and compare the [OP and refractive changes between hyperopic and myopic groups. METHODS This study was designed as a retrospective cohort study. Ninety one children received cycloplegic mydriasis. The I...
متن کاملCycloplegic Refraction in Hyperopic Children: Effectiveness of a 0.5% Tropicamide and 0.5% Phenylephrine Addition to 1% Cyclopentolate Regimen
PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of a cycloplegic regimen using 0.5% tropicamide and 0.5% phenylephrine (Tropherine, Hanmi Pharm), in addition to 1% cyclopentolate, in hyperopic children. METHODS The medical records of hyperopic patients below the age of 14 years who had undergone cycloplegic retinoscopy were retrospectively reviewed. Cycloplegic refractions were performed using one of t...
متن کامل[Cyclopentolate as a cycloplegic drug in determination of refractive error].
Cycloplegia is loss of the power of accommodation with inhibition of a ciliary muscle. We obtain in this way the smallest refraction of the lens and make it possible to determine the presence and size of the particular refractive error in cycloplegia by using cyclopentolate. Cyclopentolate is a synthetic anticholinergic drug and antagonist of the muscarine receptors. If applied in the eye, it b...
