Effect of Cycloplegia on Corneal Biometrics and Refractive State.

Conclusion: Cycloplegia causes a hyperopic shift and astigmatism axis changes, along with an increase in central and paracentral corneal thickness and change in posterior corneal curvature. The effects of cycloplegia on refraction and corneal biometrics should be considered before cataract and refractive surgeries. PMID: 29719636 [PubMed]
