Arrow A FULL eye examination = Dilated pupils

Guys if your pupils are not dilated its not a full examination. Yeah so your blurred for a couple of hrs afterwards.Small price to pay me thinks. Take sunglasses and use a cab or get someone else to drive you there and back. You def should not be driving if you're going to be dilated!

There are 100's of eye diseases to be had, glaucoma is just one.
If you're over 40 have it in the family you need to be checked. Your cornea, Iris, the jelly inside your eye, the blood vessles, optic nerve head, retina all need to be seen to rule out any probs.
