Impact of proxymetacaine on the dynamics of cyclopentolate in White 6‐ to 7‐year‐olds
Accurate autorefraction values can be obtained 20-min post-instillation of 1.0% cyclopentolate in white children aged 6-7 years, potentially reducing clinical testing times. Proxymetacaine pre-instillation allows for reliable measurements as early as 10-min post-instillation of cyclopentolate. Further research is needed to validate these findings in non-White populations and to determine the safe discharge time post-proxymetacaine instillation.
