A Small Volume Topical Ophthalmic Spray for Pupillary Dilation in Children: A Randomized, Masked Non-inferiority Trial. (PubMed, Ophthalmology) - "Our study demonstrated that an ophthalmic spray containing 1% tropicamide and 2.5% phenylephrine was non-inferior to traditional eye drops for maximum pupil diameter and pupillary constriction percentage. Further work is needed to characterize the cycloplegic properties of this route of administration. Ophthalmic sprays have the potential to increase the acceptability of pupillary dilation in children while maintaining a similar mydriatic effect as eye drops."

Assessing the Impact of Pharmacological Pupil Dilation on Anterior Chamber Cells Counting Using OCT. (PubMed, Ophthalmol Sci) - "The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pharmacological dilation with tropicamide 0.5% (T) or phenylephrine 2.5% + tropicamide 0.5% (PH + T) on the assessment of AC HRDs density measured in healthy eyes by AS-OCT...These findings suggest increased iris-lens friction and potential pigment release after dilation, providing critical considerations for standardizing AS-OCT-based assessments of AC inflammation. The author has no/the authors have no proprietary or commercial interest in any materials discussed in this article."

Myopia Prediction Using Machine Learning: An External Validation Study. (PubMed, Vision (Basel)) - "Chinese students (N = 614) aged 8-13 years underwent autorefraction before and after cycloplegia with 0.5% tropicamide (n = 505) or 1% cyclopentolate (n = 109). In this independent cohort of students, XGBoost and random forest performed very well for predicting cycloplegic SER and myopia status using non-cycloplegic data. This external validation study demonstrated that ML may provide a useful tool for estimating cycloplegic SER and myopia prevalence with heterogeneous clinical parameters, and study in additional populations is warranted."

Further discussion about AAC risk as a contraindication to dilation is warranted."

The Prevalence of Myopia in Finnish Conscripts Has not Increased in Recent Decades and Is Lower Than in Many East and Southeast Asian Countries. (PubMed, Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci) - "Refraction was performed on 1522 participants under tropicamide-induced cycloplegia...Higher education, prolonged near work, reduced time outdoors, and increased smartphone use (in the higher-educated group) were factors associated with myopia prevalence. The reduced educational pressure may be attributed to the lower prevalence of myopia among Finnish conscripts compared to many East and Southeast Asian countries, where myopia is much more prevalent."

Efficacy and influencing factors of preoperative pharmacological mydriasis in type 2 diabetic patients undergoing cataract surgery (PubMed, Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi) - "The pupil diameter and compliance rate were observed at eight time points: 20 min (T1), 30 min (T2), 40 min (T3), 50 min (T4), 60 min (T5), 70 min (T6), 80 min (T7) and 90 min (T8) after mydriasis with compound tropicamide before cataract surgery... The compliance rate of pupil diameter within 60 min after pharmacological mydriasis before cataract surgery in patients with type 2 diabetes increased significantly with time, and the expansion effect tended to be stable after 60 min. The duration of diabetes, HbA1c levels, and BMI were factors affecting mydriasis achievement in patients with type 2 diabetes."

Comparison of cycloplegic effects of atropine and tropicamide in children with refractive error. (PubMed, Transl Pediatr) - "The cycloplegic effect of 4 g/L of tropicamide eye drops on spherical and cylindrical lenses was less than that of 8 g/L of atropine eye ointment. In the mixed astigmatism group, among spherical lenses, 14 eyes had differences, accounting for 100.0% of cases, with the maximum difference being 1.25 D; among cylindrical lenses, 5 eyes had the same results between the two pupil dilation methods, accounting for 35.7% of cases, and 64.3% had a difference of 0.25-0.5 D. In children under 12 years old with mixed astigmatism and hyperopia, cycloplegic refraction using atropine is preferred over tropicamide."

Optical Fogging is an Effective Method of Reducing Overestimation of Myopia. (PubMed, Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther) - "Optical fogging effectively suppresses unnecessary accommodative responses in young adults, significantly reducing myopic overestimation, with particularly pronounced effects in those with notable myopic overestimation. Although optical fogging is less effective than cycloplegia in relaxing accommodation, it offers advantages in terms of ease of use, non-invasiveness, and good tolerance, making it highly applicable in clinical refraction measurement."

Clinical science effects of different mydriatics on retinal and choroidal parameters in healthy adults observed by widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography. (PubMed, BMJ Open Ophthalmol) - "Rapid mydriasis causes slight retinal thickening, the slight change in the outer layer, particularly in the temporal and inferior regions. There were no significant changes in the choroid parameters following mydriasis, except for choroidal stroma volume. The limitation of this study was the small sample size and the absence of a control group."

GDM enhanced acetylcholine induced vasoconstriction in human umbilical vein via CHRM3 and CACNA1C upregulation linked to promoter hypomethylation. (PubMed, Sci Rep) - "ACh-induced responses were also recorded in the presence of atropine (an inhibitor of muscarinic receptors,10-6 mol/L), pirenzepine (an inhibitor of CHRM1, 10-5 mol/L) AF-DX 116 (an inhibitor of CHRM2, 10-6 mol/L), P-F-HHSiD (an inhibitor of CHRM3, 10-6 mol/L), tropicamide (an inhibitor of CHRM4, 10-6 mol/L), nifedipine (specific CACNA1C antagonist, 10-6 mol/L) or removal of endothelium. Methylation assay revealed that GDM reduced the methylation levels of the CHRM3 and CACNA1C promoter regions in HUV. GDM increased ACh-mediated vasoconstriction in HUV primarily through upregulation of CHRM3 and CACNA1C, potentially due to decreased methylation levels of their promoter regions."

Changes in Ocular Biometry After Pharmacologic Cycloplegia and Mydriasis in Primary Angle Closure Disease. (PubMed, Ophthalmol Ther) - "A minority of PACD eyes displayed obvious movement of the ciliary-lens diaphragm, suggesting that primary CB may be an infrequent occurrence in PACD eyes. Additionally, higher IOP, shallower AC, more anteriorly placed lens, and smaller ACW may facilitate the identification of IOP spikes following dilation in clinical practice."
