Study summary

To raise the standard of care, improve the overall patient experience and streamline practice flow, Eyenovia has developed an innovative mydriatic to be delivered as a microdose by a specialized dispenser. While still achieving effective pupil dilation, MydCombi has the potential to increase patient throughput at practicing offices by decreasing time spent eye dropping patients, eliminating time wasted waiting between drop instillations and ensuring more accurate drug delivery. The proposed study hopes to demonstrate the non-inferiority of using MydCombi to achieve pupillary dilation in patients compared to standard of care eye drops.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study strives to demonstrate the non-inferiority of using MydCombi to achieve pupillary dilation in patients compared to standard-of-care (SOC) eye drops in a randomized trial.

Primary Aim: Demonstrate non-inferiority of using MydCombi to achieve pupillary dilation compared to standard-of-care eye drops in patients.

Participants 2 years or older undergoing standard pupillary dilation will be randomized to use MydCombi in one eye and standard of care pupillary dilation in another eye.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Pupil Diameter

    The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris (the structure that gives particpant's eyes their color). The diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of the pupil, which is shaped like a circle.

    Time frame: Before dilation and 30 minutes after dilation

  2. Pupil Constriction Percentage

    Pupillary constriction percentage was calculated by the pupillometer in response to a 180-micro watt flash: (maximum - minimum) / maximum

    Time frame: Before and 30 minutes after dilation

  3. Spherical Equivalent

    Cycloplegia is the paralysis of the ciliary muscle of the eye resulting in dilatation of the pupil and paralysis of accommodation. Cycloplegia is defined as the "change score." Change scores were calculated by subtracting the spherical equivalent value after dilation from the value before dilation for each eye.

    Time frame: Before dilation and 30 minutes after dilation

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intraocular Pressure

    Intraocular pressure is the pressure, or force, inside of the participants eyes. Specifically, it's a measurement of the fluid pressure in the participant's aqueous humor.

    Time frame: Before and 30 minutes After Dilation

Results

Posted Sep 22, 2026
Limitations and caveats
Our study population was predominantly composed of children with dark irides, which may limit the generalizability of these results. However, darker irides generally have a slower and smaller response to dilating drops. We measured cycloplegia following administration of tropicamide and phenylephrine, which may not represent broadly used clinical practice for cycloplegia in children.

Participant flow

Patients 18 years of age or under requiring pupillary dilation as part of their scheduled eye examination at the UCSF pediatric ophthalmology clinic between October 2024 and July 2025 were enrolled.
