    Author: Hamborg-Petersen B, Nielsen MM, Thordal C.
    Journal: Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh); 1984 Jun; 62(3):485-8. PubMed ID: 6464693.
    Abstract:
    Five children, admitted with acute psychotic reactions after use of Scopolamine eye drops 0.2%, are presented. The predominant symptoms were visual hallucinations, strange behaviour, and restlessness. In one case peripheral symptoms were observed. Recovery was complete in 24 h. Prescription of Scopolamine eye drops should be followed by information of possible adverse effects. Cyclopentolate might be used instead.
