Abstract

• Background: Nasolacrimal occlusion has been shown to improve the efficacy of some topically applied ocular drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nasolacrimal occlusion on tropicamide-induced mydriasis. • Methods: We compared pupillary dilatation by 0.125% tropicamide with and without nasolacrimal occlusion in 40 healthy volunteers. • Results: Analysis of variance with repeated measures failed to show any advantage due to nasolacrimal occlusion in drug-induced mydriasis. • Conclusion: Nasolacrimal occlusion did not increase the mydriasis obtained with 0.125% tropicamide.
