Yes, we will almost always dilate your eyes when you visit our office. By opening up your pupils we are able to look at the intraocular structures like the lens, the vitreous and retina to detect any abnormalities. After dilation, your up close/reading vision will be blurry for 4-6 hours. Most patients are able to drive home after an appointment, however, if you do not feel comfortable driving after dilation, please plan to arrange transportation.
