The effect of 1% tropicamide on central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure

The effect of 1% tropicamide on central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure

Background: Dilating the eye with tropicamide may alter the intraocular pressure (IOP) because of an obstruction of the iridocorneal angle, resulting in decreased aqueous outflow drainage. Also, the repeated application of eyedrops and instrumentation could lead to increased central corneal thicknes...
