ABSTRACT
Mydriatic eye drops are indicated for ophthalmologic exams (fundus and cycloplegic effect for refraction diagnosis). Their use must be optimal to avoid adverse reactions. This is even more important in pediatrics, because few clinical studies were conducted in this population during drug development. We reviewed the use of mydriatic eye drops, gathering information from the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) from the Theriaque® database (CNHIM) and the manufacturers' information, in terms of dose, concentration and volume administered, age limit indications, recommendations for administration, and our local practice. This tool is useful in our hospital for physicians, pharmacists, and nurses but could be also useful for all healthcare providers using mydriatic eye drops for children.
