Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialCombination cyclopentolate and phenylephrine for mydriasis in premature infants with heavily pigmented irides.
This study examined whether safe and effective mydriasis can be achieved in premature infants with heavily pigmented irides using combination cyclopentolate 0.2% and phenylephrine 1% eyedrops. ⋯ The single combination eyedrop of cyclopentolate 0.2% and phenylephrine 1% is as effective and safe a mydriatic for infants with dark irides as both tropicamide 0.5% and phenylephrine 2.5%.
