“…16 While many continue to recommend TCP, 15,17 the added benefit of tropicamide remains dubious. 18,19 One study found no significant difference in accommodative amplitude or pupil diameter between a TCP solution and CP control, suggesting that any effect induced by tropicamide was negligible in comparison to that of cyclopentolate and phenylephrine. 20 It is important to note, however, that this study was conducted in adults and may, consequently, not be generalizable to children, who possess greater amplitudes of accommodation and require more potent cycloplegic agents.…”
