Primary glaucoma or tendency toward glaucoma (eg, narrow anterior chamber angle); hypersensitivity to homatropine or any component of the formulation.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• CNS effects: Excessive use may cause CNS disturbances, including confusion, delirium, agitation, and coma (rare). May occur with any age group, although children and the elderly are more susceptible. Patients should be cautioned about performing tasks which require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery, driving).
• Light sensitivity (ocular): May cause sensitivity to light; appropriate eye protection should be used.
Disease-related concerns:
• Down syndrome: Patients with Down syndrome are predisposed to angle-closure glaucoma; use with caution.
• Keratoconus: May result in fixed pupil dilation in patients with keratoconus; use with caution.
Special populations:
• Older adult: Use with caution in the elderly due to susceptibility to systemic effects.
• Pediatric: Safety and efficacy have not been established in infants and young children; use with caution in children with brain damage due to susceptibility of systemic effects. Avoid use during the first 3 months of life.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Contact lens wearers: May contain benzalkonium chloride which may be adsorbed by contact lenses (Chapman 1990).
Other warnings and precautions:
• Appropriate use: For topical ophthalmic use only. To minimize systemic absorption, apply pressure over the lacrimal sac for 1 to 3 minutes after instillation. To avoid contamination, do not touch dropper tip to any surface. To avoid precipitating angle closure glaucoma, an estimation of the depth of the anterior chamber angle should be made prior to use.

Ophthalmic instillation: Wash hands before and after use. Avoid touching tip of applicator to eye or other surfaces. Finger pressure should be applied to lacrimal sac for 1 to 3 minutes after instillation to decrease risk of absorption and systemic reactions.
Ophthalmic: Wash hands before and after use. Do not touch tip of container to eye. Contact lenses should be removed before instillation; do not reinsert contact lenses within 15 minutes of drops. Apply gentle pressure to lacrimal sac during and immediately following instillation (2 to 3 minutes) or instruct patient to gently close eyelid after administration, to decrease systemic absorption of ophthalmic drops (Ref).
Mydriasis and cycloplegia for refraction: Producing cycloplegia and mydriasis for refraction; for pre- and postoperative states when mydriasis is required.
Optical aid: Use as an optical aid in some cases of axial lens opacities.
Uveitis: Treatment of inflammatory conditions of the uveal tract.
