Used to produce mydriasis and cycloplegia for refraction. However, because homatropine has prolonged mydriatic and relatively weak cycloplegic effects, other antimuscarinics may be preferred.

Management of acute inflammatory conditions (e.g., iridocyclitis) of the uveal tract.

Used for pre- and postoperative states when mydriasis is required.

Used as an optical aid in some cases of axial lens opacities.
