Reproducibility of mydriasis.
A combination of a single drop of each of 0.5% tropicamide and of 10% phenylephrine hydrochloride instilled after routine applanation tonometry gave consistent pupil dilatation in a population with cataract studied over 5 years. The dilatation allows reproducible photographic documentation of cataracts in long-term studies.
