What is dilated eye examination? To examine the eye thoroughly , a dilating eye drop is put in the patients eye , which makes the pupil of the eye bigger for some time. It allows the doctor to examine the inside of the eye , like the retina and the optic nerve and lens etc. It also helps us in giving the patient the exact refractive correction. The effect of dilating drops usually stays for several hours and the vision esp the near vision stays blurry for that time. Ask us more about this examination when you visit our clinic.
