Short Term Refractive and Ocular Parameter Changes After Topical Atropine

Short Term Refractive and Ocular Parameter Changes After Topical Atropine

In order we had designed a prospective clinical trial. Spherical equivalent refractive error (SER), axial length (AL), mean keratometric value (Mean-K), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and intraocular pressure (IOP) were measured at baseline and one week after topical use of 0.125% atropine. Postcycloplegic changes of refractive error and ocular parameters were evaluated, and their correlations were analyzed with multiple linear regression models.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients who had an SER of -0.5 diopters or less in their eyes.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who had already been undergoing cycloplegic treatment for myopia before.
