Cyclopentolate and grand mal seizure.
The author describes a case of grand mal seizures that occurred on two occasions after ocular instillation of cyclopentolate 2% for refraction in a 11-year old epileptic girl. The first and the second crisis developed respectively 45 and 30 minutes after instillation of the drug. Cyclopentolate should be contraindicated in known epileptic children.
متن کاملSystemic absorption of ocular cyclopentolate in children.
Cyclopentolate plasma levels were quantitated and heart rate and pupil size were monitored after ocular application of the drug to juveniles. In all, 12 children were given one 35-microliters eyedrop of either 1% cyclopentolate (n = 6) or placebo (n = 6) in randomized order in the lower cul-de-sac of one eye. A sensitive radioreceptor assay was used to determine the systemic drug absorption. Wi...
متن کاملCycloplegic 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 کاملEffects of Cyclopentolate on Form Deprivation Myopia in Guinea Pigs
Purpose: To investigate the effects of intravitreal injection of cyclopentolate on form deprivation myopia in guinea pigs. Methods: Thirty-five guinea pigs at age of 3 weeks were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 7 for each group): deprived, deprived plus saline, deprived plus cyclopentolate, normal control, and cyclopentolate group. Form deprivation was only performed in right eyes with tran...
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...
