A Clinical Randomized Trial Comparing the Cycloplegic Effect of Cyclopentolate Drops Applied to Closed Eyelids Versus Open Eyelids

Abstract: Placing one drop of cyclopentolate HCL 1% on a closed eyelid had a success rate for complete cycloplegia that was equivalent to placing one drop directly on the cornea.

“…In a study of glaucoma patients, self-dosing a drop of topical medication to the closed eyelid in a supine position and allowing the drop to gather in the medial canthus before eyelid opening to deliver the medication to the ocular surface produced similar reductions in intraocular pressure as clinical-dosed medication in typical fashion [143]. Similarly, eyelid versus corneal administration produced comparable cycloplegia in amblyopic children treated with cyclopentolate [144].…”
