Cyclopentolate 1% was instilled three times at 10-minute intervals. The spherical equivalent, pupillary reaction, and pupillary diameter were recorded before the first drop and nine times after the last drop at 10-minute intervals. Side effects were assessed. Time of maximum cycloplegia was determined from the time point at which the 95% confidence interval of the differences between the mean spherical equivalent at each point and its final value at 110 minutes was reached and remained within the equivalence limit (±0.25 D).Results: Sixty children were enrolled in this study. Their mean age was 9.8 years (range: 5–14 years). Time of maximum cycloplegia was reached at 30 minutes after the first instillation of cyclopentolate. A poor correlation was observed between the pupillary reaction and the time of maximum cycloplegia (r=−0.07). The mean pupillary diameter at 30 minutes was 3.7±1.3 mm, and further dilation occurred thereafter. No side effects were observed.Conclusion: In most children, maximum cycloplegia was reached 30 minutes after the first instillation of cyclopentolate. The absence of a pupillary reaction should not be used as an indicator of maximum cycloplegia.Keywords: refraction, cyclopentolate, cycloplegia, brown irises, cycloplegic refractionLaojaroenwanit SLayanun VPraneeprachachon PPukrushpan PDove Medical PressarticleRefractionCyclopentolateCycloplegiaBrown irisesOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2016, Iss Issue 1, Pp 897-902 (2016)
