Short Term Refractive and Ocular Parameter Changes After Topical Atropine

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

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.

• Phase: N/A
