In order for the doctor to thoroughly examine the inside of the eye for problems such as glaucoma, diabetes, cataracts, retinal holes/tears, detachments, high blood pressure, and some types of tumors, we need to put drops in the eyes to enlarge the pupils. Side effects of the dilation drops include increased sensitivity to bright light that last 4-6 hours and slightly blurred vision (mostly trouble focusing up close) for 2-3 hours. A free pair of disposable sunglasses will be provided for your convenience. We strongly recommend this procedure to all of our patients. There is no extra fee for this service.
