Description
Mine Esen Baris and three colleagues test in 2026 whether phenylephrine eye drops, the standard pupil dilator, quietly alter front-of-eye structures in healthy adults. Twenty volunteers received three doses of the 2.5 percent drop in the right eye, with the untreated left eye as control. Scleral thickness was imaged at three depths, and protein haze in the front chamber was measured by laser photometry 45 minutes later.
The white wall thickened significantly right at the scleral spur on both sides of the eye, while thinning occurred one millimeter behind the spur on the temple side. Chamber haze drifted upward without reaching significance. Baris and colleagues conclude the drops reshape the sclera locally yet leave inflammation essentially untouched.
