Eye Drops
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi there, I've got to have drops in my eyes to dilate them on Thursday morning and have been told not to drive because of blurred vision. So I will need to get home on a bus or taxi afterwards. But not knowing much about this, will I be able to walk round town and look round the shops a bit after this examination, or will that be out of the question? Thanks.

Yes, you'll be fine.
It just feels a bit strange, soon wears off that feeling.
It's more about....look in the mirror to see how your eyes have changed. The pupil is huge and sometimes the colour is odd.
No worries....
Good luck with your appointment.

It's a pleasure helping others out. I certainly appreciate this site, particularly at the moment as I have a few things going on in my life at the moment that I don't fully understand and I know there are some really kind and thoughtful people on this site who are happy to help anyone out.
I call them Angels!!!
I didn't take any sunglasses with me but on reflection, I think that would have been a good idea!
I remember feeling like I needed to keep my eyes shut for quite a while afterwards because the sunlight was so strong so Yes, go buy a pair. I wouldn't spend too much out on them if I were you. Just make sure you've got good coverage.
All the best

You might find that you can read across the Channel but not in front of you for a while!
I hope your appointment goes well.

My eyes clear pretty quickly these days, perhaps they use drops that aren't are long lasting as they used to be. I drive myself and my eyes clear in about 2 hours.
Well done with the specs!! I get prescription sunglasses from Specsavers and they have UVA & B protrection. I can't remember whether they were offered as standard or whether I paid more.
I would be interested to know how you get on, after all this!

I hope my eyes will clear quickly too. I can live in hope.
It was strange for me buying sun glasses because I never wear them. They only cost me £5. Got them in Matalan.
Yes I will get back to you tomorrow when I get home, as soon as I can see clear enough to message you.
Test is at 11.35am by the way.
Thanks again.
