Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of mydriatic regimens used in screening for retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants with dark irides.
To determine the mydriatic regimen that provides optimal dilation of the pupil with minimal systemic side effects for screening of retinopathy of prematurity. ⋯ The prepared combination of cyclopentolate 0.2% + phenylephrine 1% appears to be the mydriatic of choice for preterm infants with dark irides as it provided adequate pupillary dilation with the least systemic side effects.
