Best Answer

The purpose of cycloplegia in ocular inflammation is threefold:

1. reduces ocular pain by preventing cilliary body spasm

2. helps to stabilize blood/aqueous barrier

3.reduces area of contact of peripheral iris with anterior lens surface decreasing risk of synechie and possible angle closure.

Much protein is released into the AC by way of cell and flare, this is sticky and and contributes to the lens being bound to the iris. Additionally, the person is highly photophobic, by stabilizing the iris and cilliary body, they are much more comfortable.
