Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare one dose of the short acting tropicamide combined with one dose of the longer acting cyclopentolate (c+t) with a double dose of the longer acting cyclopentolate (c+c) Primary outcomes •Detection of statistical or clinical significant- or no difference in depth of cycloplegia; e.g. residual accommodation, between c+c and c+t. •Detection of statistical or clinical significant- or no difference in recuperation time of 1) ciliary paralysis and 2) sphincter paralysis between c+c and c+t. ;Secondary Objective: •Detection of statistical or clinical significant- or no difference in time of stability of maximum cycloplegia between c+c and c+t. •Detection of statistical or clinical significant- or no difference in 1) depth of cycloplegia 2)in time to maximum cycloplegia 3) in time of stability of maximum cycloplegia between eye-colour main groups in c+c and c+t. •Identification of factors that affect 1) depth of cycloplegia 2) time of stability of maximum cycloplegia 3) recuperation time from ciliary and sphincter paralysis in c+c and c+t. •Detection of statistical or clinical significant or no differences in changes in astigmatism during the time course of cycloplegia in c+c and c+t. •Establishment of a statistical significant or no relationship between incomplete cycloplegia and changes in astigmatism in c+c and c+t. •Detection of statistical or clinical significant- or no differences in astigmatism between relaxed and demanding accommodation circumstances in c+c and c+t. ;Primary end point(s): Part I Primary outcome parameter is residual accommodation; e.g. depth of cycloplegia. Secondary outcome parameter are time of stability of (maximum) cycloplegia and changes in astigmatism. Differences will be considered statistical significant if p 0.50 D, a time difference in stability of > 10 minutes, and a change of > 0.50 D cylinder or a change of >5° cylinder ax will be considered clinical significant. Part II Primary outcome parameter is ti
