We don't just dilate your eyes for our own sadistic pleasures. This is why we do it.

  • i've had Photophobia all my life as well as a few other conditions. I can't go out in regular weather without wearing sunglass which I hate. If I dilute my eyes can that help with the situation? Or will it make it worse?

    I've seen some video on how to dilute them yourself at will.

  • @leahcimrac For some people who might not know, Photophobia is sensitivity to light. Dilating the eyes like we do for the exam actually makes the eyes much MORE sensitive to light for those couple hours that they are dilated. For some reasons, some known and some unknown, there are people who are more photophobic than others. Unfortunately, in most cases the only thing to do is just what you are doing, sunglasses and a hat.

  • How many drops do you put? My Mother had an eye exam and it took her nearly 5 hours for it to dialate HALF of its normal size

  • good question. I usually use 1 drop. for some people two drops (which are complimentary) are used. If there is need to keep the pupil dilated for an extended period there is a type that will leave the pupil open for 24 hours.

  • After getting my pupils dilated for eye exam...

    Friend: Dude, you are so fucking high....

    Me: No I dont

  • @BenisFTW Lmao

  • Did this, went to the mall 1 hour later, people thought I was on drugs...

  • When i got my eyes dialated, i looked at my christmas tree, and there were little tiny rainbows around each of the lights. It gave me a huge headache to look at it. Is that normal?

  • I got my eyes dilated and it didnt hurt. When i put on my conracts that stings more than a eye exam.

  • VERY educational and answered a lot of questions. Thanks!!

  • LOl is it just me that got a weird reaction when he said, "Its kinda fun lookin" at 1:51

  • Good information.... I had this happen up me today and I kept wondering what exactly happens. Oh and I can barely see right now, but that's why I got spellcheck lol.

  • Do you have to have your eyes dilated everytime you get an exam or vision test?

  • Why does dialting the eyes hurt so much, literally feel like your eye is on fire when the dialating drops are put in, even though they put the numbing drops in first? It always happens, the numbing drops dont work, and i end up feeling this searing pain.
