Comparison of Mydriatic Effects Between 4 Regimens of a Tropicamide-Phenylephrine Combination in Diabetic Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 1 drop of a 0.8% tropicamide + 5% phenylephrine combination, 1 drop of 0.5% tetracaine and 1 drop of a 0.8% tropicamide + 5% phenylephrine combination, and 2 other interventions for Diabetes (DM) and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 84 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Pupil dilation is required for many eye conditions. Diabetic patients may need more dilating eye drops to have pupil size large enough for eye exams. This study compares 4 methods of eye drops for pupil dilation in diabetic patients scheduled for retinopathy screening. Possible side effects of the eye drops are monitored during the study.
