“…The phenylephrine is used to localize the site of sympathetic denervation in Horner's syndrome, producing mydriasis as part of sympathomimetic action (Smith and Raynard 1992;Ward, 1998). In humans an increase of intraocular pressure (IOP) has been observed after use of topical mydriatics such as atropine (Gartner and Billet, 1957), tropicamide and phenylephrine (Harris 1968;Harris and Galin, 1969;Rengstorff and Doughty, 1982) both in normal subjects and in patients with narrow filtration angle glaucoma (Harris and Galin, 1969) and with primary open angle glaucoma (Shaw and Lewis, 1986;Marchini et al, 2003). Latest report in five years old girl presented to the hospital for a routine retina check-u, after pupil dilation with 1 % tropicamide and 10 % phenylephrine for retinal examination, showed an acute elevation of intraocular pressure (Wu et al, 2015).…”
