The Cyclopentolate Provocative Test in Suspected or Untreated Open‐angle Glaucoma

Abstract: The mydriasis provocative test with 1% cyclopentolate (CPT) was performed on 218 patients with suspected or untreated open-angle glaucoma, on 431 eyes in all. Gonioscopy was performed before and during the test to ensure that te chamber angles were open throughout. The effect of cyclopentolate on intraocular pressure (10P) in these eyes is reported in the present paper. The mean change in IOP (+/-SD) During CPT was +2.5 +/- 3.1 mmHg in the glaucoma group (196 eyes), +0.4 +/- 2.5 mmHg in the group with suspicio… Show more

“…Mydriatic or cycloplegic agents can cause a rise in IOP, which might be related to decreased aqueous outflow, resulting from decreased pull on the trabecular meshwork due to ciliary muscle paralysis 26 . Valle 27 noted an increase in aqueous inflow in patients who experienced a rise in IOP following dilation and suggested a decrease in aqueous outflow in the same patients. It might well be that the variations in IOP seen in the present study represent a normal variation in how aqueous inflow and outflow are affected by tropicamide.…”
