General Info:

Cyclopentolate is used before eye examinations (e.g., refraction exams). It belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics. Cyclopentolate works by temporarily widening (dilating) the pupil of the eye and relaxing the muscles of the eye.

Cyclopentolate eye drops can cause blurred vision which may last several hours. Do not drive or operate machinery unless your vision is clear.

Cyclopentolate is sold as brand name AK-Pentolate, Cyclogyl, Cylate, Ocu-Pentolate.
