Introduction: The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of topical anesthetic drops in reducing the pain associated with mydriatic eye drops prior to the retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) examination. Methods: Premature infants who underwent first-time ROP examinations in an outpatient setting were included in this randomized controlled trial. The study group included the infants who were administered topical anesthesia prior to the first mydriatic drops, and the control group included the infants who were given preservative-free artificial tear drops. Pain assessment was performed using the premature infant pain profile (PIPP). Results: A total of 66 infants, 35 in the control group and 31 in the study group, were included in the study. The PIPP scores of the infants during the first, second, and third mydriatic drops were 5.3 ± 2.0; 4.9 ± 1.7; and 4.0 ± 1.8, respectively, in the study group and 5.3 ± 1.7; 5.6 ± 1.8; and 4.6 ± 1.8, respectively, in the control group. No significant difference was found in the scores between the two groups. The PIPP score after the third drop was significantly lower than that after the second drop in the control group, and the PIPP score after the third drop was significantly lower than that obtained after the first and second drops in the study group. Discussion/Conclusion: This study showed no significant benefit of the topical anesthetic drop in the prevention of pain associated with mydriatic eye drops. The decrease in the pain response observed in repeated administrations is a novel finding.
