title: Cycloplegic refraction after echothiophate iodide.
abstract: Retinoscopy under cycloplegia using cyclopentolate (Cyclogyl) hydrochloride was performed on 18 patients (36 eyes) with partial or complete accommodative esodeviation, during and after treatment with echothiophate (Phospholine) iodide. Measurements were clinically comparable on both occasions, regardless of concentration of echothiophate, duration of administration, or interval from discontinuance until refraction. It appears to be unnecessary to discontinue echothiophate iodide in order to obtain reliable cycloplegic retinoscopic measurements.
