Abstract

The historical and physiological aspects of the adrenalin family as used in ophthalmology are reviewed. While the pressure-lowering effect is briefly discussed, emphasis is laid upon the mydriatic action of epinephrine compounds. The authors report a series of seventy-four cases in which the pupil-dilating effect of laevosuprarenin bitartrate (synthetic) was studied. Speed of dilatation, duration, and the contrary effects of miotics upon the pupil were recorded and conclusions drawn. From the Department of Ophthalmology, University of California Medical School.

Synthetic Suprarenin Bitartrate as a Mydriatic

The historical and physiological aspects of the adrenalin family as used in ophthalmology are reviewed. While the pressure-lowering effect is briefly discussed, emphasis is laid upon the mydriatic action of epinephrine compounds. The authors report a series of seventy-four cases in which the pupil-dilating effect of laevosuprarenin bitartrate (synthetic) was studied. Speed of dilatation, duration, and the contrary effects of miotics upon the pupil were recorded and conclusions drawn. From the Department of Ophthalmology, University of California Medical School.
