Pupil dilation evaluation of two mydriatic dosing profiles delivered by the Optejet®

Abstract

Aim: To compare pupil dilation achieved by a single microdose versus two microdoses of tropicamide-phenylephrine fixed combination (TR-PH FC) delivered by the Optejet®. Patients & methods: In this assessor-masked, crossover, noninferiority study, 60 volunteers underwent two treatment visits and received either one (∼8 μl) or two sprays (∼16 μl) of TR-PH FC to both eyes in randomly assigned order. Results: At 35 min postdose, mean change in pupil diameter was 4.6 mm and 4.9 mm following one or two sprays, respectively. The estimated treatment group difference was -0.249 mm (standard error: 0.036; 95% CI: -0.320, -0.177). No adverse events were reported. Conclusion: A single microdose was noninferior to two microdoses of TR-PH FC and achieved clinically significant mydriasis in a timely manner.
