Cycloplegia

Cycloplegia is the temporary paralysis or paresis of the ciliary muscle of the eye, resulting in a loss of visual accommodation When functioning as an intended clinical state or procedural drug indication, it is induced therapeutically or diagnostically using topical anticholinergic agents Pathophysiologically, the blockade of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors inhibits ciliary contraction, preventing the crystalline lens from increasing its curvature for near focusing, which characteristically ...

Pathophysiologically, the blockade of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors inhibits ciliary contraction, preventing the crystalline lens from increasing its curvature for near focusing, which characteristically manifests as blurred near vision and an inability to accommodate

It is primarily elicited in pediatric and adult ophthalmic evaluations to uncover latent refractive errors, during diagnostic eye examinations, or to immobilize the ciliary body for pain relief and prevention of synechiae in inflammatory conditions such as anterior uveitis
