Abstract. We compared the cycloplegic effects of cyclopentolate, homatropine and atropine by the retinoscopy findings and residual accommodation left following their use in the same individual. The mean residual accommodation measured after the use of cyclopentolate, homatropine and atropine was 1.48 ± 0.33 D, 2.32 ± 0.37 D and 1.10 D ± 0.28 D, respectively, and the mean difference in retinoscopy readings between cyclopentolate and homatropine, homatropine and atropine, and atropine and…

Cycloplegic Refraction in Children with Cyclopentolate versus Atropine
TLDR
It is suggested that the cyclopentolate applied to younger or older children is sufficient to produce good cycloplegia, with an effect similar to atropine.
Optimal Dosage of Cyclopentolate 1% for Complete Cycloplegia: A Randomized Clinical Trial
TLDR
A single drop of cyclopentolate 1% suffices for cycloplegic refraction and there were less frequent side effects using one drop of Cycloplegia with minimal side effects compared to two or three drops.
Comparing homatropine and atropine in pediatric cycloplegic refractions.
[Cycloplegia using a conjunctival insert - comparison to standard procedures].
TLDR
The conjuctival medicament insert offers a new application form to induce cycloplegia, but the effect is less effective compared to the clinically used standard procedures using eye drops, but should be considered for special patients when eye drop instillation is problematic.
Tropicamide (1%): an effective cycloplegic agent for myopic children.
TLDR
Tropicamide (1%) is an effective cycloplegic agent in myopic children and its efficacy is associated with age, gender, iris color, ethnicity, magnitude of the refractive error, or latent error.
A randomized clinical trial using atropine, cyclopentolate, and tropicamide to compare refractive outcome in hypermetropic children with a dark iris; skin pigmentation and crying as significant factors for hypermetropic outcome
TLDR
A statistical model combining intervention and skin-color, with light-pigmented subjects receiving atropine-(CC) as reference group and subjects crying in all interventions indicated borderline significantly less hypermetropia in dark-Pigmented crying subjects in each individual intervention.
Comparison of Cycloplegic and Manifest Refraction in Children and Adolescents cycloplegic
TLDR
The most common refractive error in younger children was hyperopia, whereas myopia was the most common error in older children, based on age.
The effect of cycloplegia on measurement of the ocular components.
TLDR
Although tropicamide, as expected, showed poorer cycloplegia compared to cyclopentolate, the degree of difference appeared to be small, with minimal effect on the measurement of distance refractive error and the ocular optical components.
Acute Adult Onset Comitant Esotropia Associated with Accommodative Spasm
TLDR
An otherwise healthy young male patient with sudden onset of blurred vision, inward deviation of the eyes, and binocular diplopia is diagnosed to have acute onset esotropia resulting from SNR and treated with cycloplegic medications and vision therapy.
Eye colour and skin pigmentation as significant factors for refractive outcome and residual accommodation in hypermetropic children: a randomized clinical trial using cyclopentolate 1% and tropicamide 1.
TLDR
It is shown that cyclopentolate 1% combined with tropicamide 1% provides more accurate refractive outcomes both statistically and clinically integrating the factor skin pigmentation for dark-irided subjects.

TLDR
This report concerns the study of the effect of 1% solutions of the same preparations of the new parasympathomimetic-blocking agents, three appear to be effective cycloplegic drugs suitable for refraction.
