Abstract

Local instillation of thymoxamine eye drops (0-1%) completely reversed the mydriasis produced by ephedrine (5%) but not that produced by ephedrine (5%) together with homatropine (0-5%). Small but significant changes in accomodation were found with ephedrine and with thymoxamine, as well as the larger expected changes with homatropine.
