With your safety our primary concern, we typically recommend that individuals take the passenger seat following a dilated eye exam. However, people can safely drive home following dilation if the proper precautions are taken. Dark tinted sunglasses are strongly recommended becuase your eyes will not be able to naturally adjust to bright lights (e.g., sunlights, headlights, etc.). In addition, we highly recommend that individuals plan to drive straight home and relax for 3-4 hours rather than undertaking other activities.
