Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride 1% w/v, 5mL Eye Drops
SKU GME1153Eye Care
Product Introduction
Cyclopentolate Hydrochloride 1% w/v eye drops temporarily widen the pupil and relax the focusing muscle for eye examination and refraction testing. They are also used to relieve painful ciliary-muscle spasm in anterior uveitis.
How to use
The drops are usually administered around an eye examination. After instillation, close the eye and press gently at the inner corner for one to two minutes to reduce drainage into the nose. Avoid driving while near vision remains blurred.
How it works
Cyclopentolate blocks muscarinic receptors in the iris sphincter and ciliary muscle. This produces pupil dilation and temporary loss of accommodation.
Side effects
Stinging, blurred near vision and light sensitivity are expected transient effects. Dry mouth, flushing or a rapid heartbeat can occur from systemic absorption, particularly in children.
Important information
Narrow drainage angles can make pupil-dilating drops hazardous. Children are more sensitive to anticholinergic effects, so strength and the number of drops are especially important.
Uses
- Pupil dilation and cycloplegic refraction
- relief of ciliary spasm in anterior uveitis when cycloplegia is needed.
Benefits
Allows a clearer examination of the back of the eye and more accurate assessment of focusing-related refractive error.
Why is reading difficult after these drops?
Relaxation of the focusing muscle makes close work temporarily blurry even when distance vision is less affected.
How long can the examination effects last?
Blur and light sensitivity can continue for several hours and sometimes into the following day.
Will sunglasses help after pupil dilation?
Sunglasses can reduce glare while the enlarged pupil lets extra light into the eye.
What if a child becomes unusually restless or confused after cyclopentolate drops?
Seek prompt medical help for marked agitation, confusion, hallucinations or poor coordination after the drops. Cyclopentolate can be absorbed beyond the eye, and children are especially sensitive to its effects on the nervous system.
Which symptoms after dilation need urgent attention?
Severe eye pain, headache, halos around lights or nausea can signal a sudden pressure rise.
