Comparison between obtained mydriasis in type 2 diabetics and non-diabetic patients . BACKGROUND/AIMS To evaluate and compare obtained mydriasis with phenylephrine 10 % associated with tropicamide 1 % in type 2 diabetics and non-diabetic patients . METHODS A total of 50 patients ( 100 eyes ) scheduled for fundoscopy were dilated with phenylephrine 10 % and yropicamide 1 % ( group 0 : n = 20 type 2 diabetic patients , 40 eyes , and group 1 : n = 30 non-diabetic patients , 60 eyes ) . Only one drop per eye of each drug was administered . In both groups , pupil diameter was measured after 40 minutes of eye drops instillation . RESULTS Both groups were similar regarding age ( p = 0.06 , Mann-Whitney test ) . Mean pupil diameter in group 0 was 8.57 and 8.73 in group 1 . There was no statistic difference between both groups ( p = 0.44 ) . Pupil diameter was greater than 7 mm in all patients ( 100 % ) . CONCLUSION When an appropriate drug combination is used , diabetic patients can achieve mydriasis as satisfactory as non-diabetic patients , allowing adequate fundus examination and/or retinopathy treatment .
