Using cycloplegic mydriatics

Use cycloplegic mydriatics, such as atropine, cyclopentolate, and tropicamide, with caution in a geriatric patient who may be predisposed to increased intraocular pressure. Signs and symptoms of increased intraocular pressure include a pressure greater than 23 mm Hg and decreased eye function caused by aqueous humor build-up.
