Short-term refractive and ocular parameter changes after topical atropine.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to explore short-term refractive and ocular parameter changes and their correlations after cycloplegia with atropine.

Meterials and methods

This is a prospective clinical trial that enrolled 96 eyes of 96 participants (mean age, 8.5 ± 2.1 years). 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 1 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.

Results

After topical atropine use, the mean AL decreased by 0.016 mm (P = 0.008), and the mea
