Medical condition
Cycloplegia
Dilated pupil (mydriasis) caused by cyclopentolate instilled into both eyes
Specialty
Ophthalmology
Cycloplegia is paralysis of the ciliary muscle of the eye, resulting in a loss of accommodation.[1] Because of the paralysis of the ciliary muscle, the curvature of the lens can no longer be adjusted to focus on nearby objects. This results in similar problems as those caused by presbyopia, in which the lens has lost elasticity and can also no longer focus on close-by objects. Cycloplegia with accompanying mydriasis (dilation of pupil) is usually due to topical application of muscarinic antagonists such as atropine and cyclopentolate.
Belladonna alkaloids are used for testing the error of refraction and examination of eye.
