Abstract
Ophthalmologists frequently use mydriatics both for diagnosis (retinal exploration, refraction tests) and for treatment. Cyclopentolate is used to induce quick and successful mydriasis for pediatric eye examination. Hypersensitivity reaction to cyclopentolate is very uncommon, especially in children. We report the case of a child who experienced a hypersensitivity reaction to cyclopentolate during preparation for an eye examination under cycloplegia.
