Abstract
Cyclopentolate is a substance that has a mydriatic and cycloplegic effect and is used frequently by ophthalmologists before pediatric glasses prescription. In this case, a child came to the clinic for glasses prescription, but later her pupil didn’t return to normal size even after using the antidote (Pilocarpine eye drop 2%). Accidentally, we found that she is on systemic medication containing Benztropine which has a mydriatic effect. After the stoppage of the systemic Benztropine, the pupils return to their normal size after two weeks. That case gives an important rationale to check the medications taken by the patient before giving cycloplegic drugs, which could help in the diagnosis and treatment of mysterious situations.
