Tropicamide3
- Tropicamide is an even shorter-lasting cycloplegic than cyclopentolate, but is less reliable for finding latent hyperopia. (wikipedia.org)
- METHODS: Two hundred thirty-three children aged 4 to 15 years attending outpatient eye clinics in Nigeria were randomized to (1) 1% cyclopentolate, (2) 1% cyclopentolate and 0.5% tropicamide, or (3) 1% atropine drops in each eye (instilled at home over 3 days). (lshtm.ac.uk)
- CONCLUSIONS: A combination of cyclopentolate and tropicamide should become the recommended agent for routine cycloplegic refraction in African children. (lshtm.ac.uk)
Atropine9
- Cyclopentolate or atropine can also be administered to reverse muscarinic and central nervous system effects of indirect cholinomimetic (anti-AChase) administration. (wikipedia.org)
- Cyclopentolate is often chosen as a milder, shorter-lasting, cycloplegic alternative to atropine, another cycloplegic agent which lasts much longer. (wikipedia.org)
- Cyclopentolate was first synthesized in 1952 as a chemical analogue of atropine. (wikipedia.org)
- Cycloplegia with accompanying mydriasis (dilation of pupil) is usually due to topical application of muscarinic antagonists such as atropine and cyclopentolate . (wikidoc.org)
- Atropine and the combined regimen produced better results for negative response to light and dilated pupil size than cyclopentolate. (lshtm.ac.uk)
- Atropine was more expensive, but also more effective, than the other agents. (lshtm.ac.uk)
- The ICER comparing atropine to the combined regimen was 1.81 (95% CI = -6.31-15.35) and compared to cyclopentolate was 0.59 (95% CI = -3.47-5.47). (lshtm.ac.uk)
- The combined regimen was more effective than cyclopentolate, but not more expensive, and was preferable to atropine, since it incurred fewer losses to follow-up. (lshtm.ac.uk)
- Atropine is one the drug in this category used for multiple clinical conditions such as mydriatic, pre-anaesthetic, antispasmodic and as antidote for physostigmine poisoning. (egpat.com)
Cycloplegic6
- It is commonly used as an eye drop during pediatric eye examinations to dilate the eye (mydriatic) and prevent the eye from focusing/accommodating (cycloplegic). (wikipedia.org)
- Table 9-1: Mydriatic and Cycloplegic Properties of Anticholinergic Agents. (wikipedia.org)
- All participants underwent examinations including visual acuity, axial length and cycloplegic autorefraction (1% cyclopentolate). (bmj.com)
- When cycloplegic drugs are used as a mydriatic to dilate the pupil, the pupil in the normal eye regains its function when the drugs are metabolized or carried away. (wikidoc.org)
- Cost-effectiveness of cycloplegic agents: results of a randomized controlled trial in nigerian children. (lshtm.ac.uk)
- PURPOSE: To compare the cost and effectiveness of three cycloplegic agents among Nigerian children. (lshtm.ac.uk)
