Description
Eye drops that relax the eye's focusing muscle are used before some eye exams, but they might change corneal measurements. Navid Elmi Sadr, Leila Ghiasian, Yasaman Hadi, and Ramyar Hariri tested that question in 2026 in older patients with type 2 diabetes who also had age-related focusing loss. Eighty-eight eyes were measured with an automatic device before and after drops, at two dose strengths.
Corneal power, astigmatism, and the white-to-white width of the cornea barely changed after the drops. None of the changes reached statistical significance at either dose. The authors conclude that such measurements can be taken reliably after the drops are given, which simplifies exam flow for this patient group.
