What is cyclopentolate ophthalmic?

Cyclopentolate ophthalmic causes the muscles in your eye to become relaxed. This widens your pupil. Your pupil will remain wide and will not respond to light.

Cyclopentolate ophthalmic is used to dilate (widen) your pupil for diagnostic procedures.

Cyclopentolate ophthalmic may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Do not touch the dropper to any surface, including your eyes or hands. The dropper is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in your eye.

Apply light pressure to the inside corner of your eye (near your nose) for 1 to 3 minutes after each drop to prevent the medicine from draining down your tear duct.
