“…The non-infectious causes include idiopathic retinal vasculitis aneurysm and neuroretinitis (IRVAN), polyarteritis nodosa, inflammatory bowel disease and Behçet's disease. [1][2][3] Infectious causes were excluded appropriately as discussed above. IRVAN was excluded by the absence of aneurysmal dilatations on angiography.…”

Purpose To investigate the effects of tropicamide and cyclopentolate, which are two anti-muscarinic agents commonly used in the ophthalmologic practice, on subfoveal choroidal choroidal thickness (ChT) in healthy adults. Methods A total of 74 healthy adult subjects were enrolled in the study. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups: (1) cyclopentolate group (n = 37) in which the right eye (study eye) of each subject received topical cyclopentolate 1%, and the fellow eye (control eye) received artificial tears and (2) tropicamide group (n = 37) in which the right eye (study eye) of each subject received topical tropicamide 1% and the fellow eye (control eye) received artificial tears. Each topical medication was applied three times with 10-min intervals. ChT measurements were performed at baseline and 40 min after the last drops of the topical medications by enhanced depth imaging (EDI) optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results In the cyclopentolate group, subfoveal ChT significantly increased in the study eyes (P = 0.013), whereas it did not significantly change in the control eyes (P = 0.417). On the other hand, in the tropicamide group, no significant subfoveal ChT changes were observed in either the study eyes (P = 0.715) or the control eyes (P = 0.344). Conclusions The current study demonstrated that cyclopentolate caused significant choroidal thickening, whereas tropicamide had no significant effect on ChT in healthy adults. As a result, mydriasis by cyclopentolate may complicate ChT measurements by EDI OCT. Use of tropicamide may provide more reliable results for evaluation of ChT in ocular pathologies.
