A New More Efficient Cycloplegia Scheme

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether tropicamide + phenylephrine cyclopentolate + applied for once waiting 30 minutes to retinoscopy (new scheme) is not inferior to apply cyclopentolate alone and wait 45 minutes to retinoscopy (traditional scheme)
