When conducting ophthalmoscopy, single instillations of 2.5% solution of Irifrin®. As a rule, for the creation of mydriasis, it is sufficient to administer 1 drop of a 2.5% solution of Irifrin® to the conjunctival sac.
The maximum mydriasis is reached after 15-30 minutes and remains at a sufficient level for 1-3 hours. If it is necessary to maintain mydriasis for a long time, after 1 hour, repeated instillation of Irifrin® is possible.
For diagnostic procedures:
- as a provocative test in patients with a narrow angle of the anterior chamber and suspected of a closed-angle glaucoma, one drop of the drug is instilled once.If the difference between the values of intraocular pressure before instillation of Irifrin® and after dilating the pupil is from 3 to 5 mm Hg. the provocative test is considered positive;
- For differential diagnosis of the type of injection of the eyeball, 1 drop of the drug is injected once: if 5 minutes after instillation there is a narrowing of the vessels of the eyeball, the injection is classified as superficial, while maintaining the redness of the eye, it is necessary to carefully examine the patient for the presence of iridocyclitis or scleritis, expansion of deeper lying vessels.
With iridocyclites, to prevent the development and rupture of the already formed posterior synechia and to reduce exudation into the anterior chamber of the eye, 1 drop of the drug is instilled in the conjunctival sac of the diseased eye 2-3 times a day, 5-10 days, depending on the severity of the disease.
For schoolchildren with low degree of myopia to prevent spasm of accommodation during a high visual load, 1 drop of Irifrin® is instilled in the evening before bed, with progressive myopia of moderate degree 3 times a week in the evening before bedtime, with emmetropia - in the daytime, depending on the load.
In hypermetropia with a tendency to spasmodic accommodation with a high visual load, the evening Irifrin® is administered in combination with 1% cyclopentolate solution. Irritin® 3 times a week in the evening before bedtime is instilled in normal visual exertion. In the treatment of false and true myopia, 1 drop of Irifrin® is buried in the evening before bedtime 2-3 times a week for a month.
