Influences of Tropicamide on Anterior Segment Parameters with Pentacam in Healthy Individuals

This study aims to investigate the effects of tropicamide 1% on the main numerical parameters of anterior segment with the Pentacam rotating Scheimpflug camera in healthy individuals. Pentacam measurements of 50 (25 female and 25 male) healthy individuals before and after 25 min of tropicamide 1% instillation were performed and compared. For comparison of the test parameters, paired t-test was used in the groups. Mean age in the study group was 28.40±4.58 years (range 18-35 years). Measurements between 2 sessions were significantly different for the parameters of anterior chamber depth (ACD) and anterior chamber volume (ACV) (P
