Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Spherical equivalent
In the first and second visit the spherical equivalent will be measured with retinoscopy. Change in spherical equivalent refraction from first visit to day average 18 days (second visit). On both visits the patient will receive different cyclopegia schemes.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in spherical refraction
Change in spherical refraction between visit 1 and 2.
Change in cylindrical refraction
Change in cylindrical refraction between visit 1 and 2
iris motility
both schemes are effective in cycloplegia ? In visit 1 and 2 the iris motility after the cyclopegic schemes will be evaluated
