Their usage in 0.5% solution has been previously reported (cyclopentolate, by Priestley and Medine,² and all three compounds by Gettes and Leopold³ and by Stolzer⁴). Their cycloplegic efficiency appeared greater than that of homatropine but not quite as great as that of atropine. In addition, they possess the advantage of a shorter duration of activity and an absence of local or systemic reactions.
