Do you use eye drops?
Occasionally the optometrist will insert drops in your eyes during the eye examination. Sometimes it is necessary to use a drop called 0.5% Tropicamide which dilates the pupils and provides a wide view of the internal eye. We will always let you know if this is necessary and give you the option of returning another day for this part of the examination. You won't be able to drive for a few hours after insertion of the drops.
