Primary Care Guide to Pupil Dilatation


 - Start with the sympathomimetic 

(2.5% phenylephrine), but don't 

call it that to the patient, they 

don't tare. Just say, "eye drop" 

 - Then use the 

anticholinergic (l % 

tropicamide). It burns, 

but it's a good burn. 

 - Wait 15 minutes. 

Do some charting or 

research how to do 

a fundus exam
