Dilating drops are used to dilate or enlarge the pupils of the eye to allow the doctors at Optometric Consultants of Virginia, Inc. d.b.a Eye & Vision Care to get a better view of the inside of your eye.
Dilating drops blur the near vision. It does not affect the distance vision but light sensitivity can make driving difficult afterward. It is not possible for your optometrist to predict how much your vision will be affected. You may need a driver afterward.
Adverse reactions, such as acute angle-closure glaucoma, may be triggered by the dilating drops. This is extremely rare and treatable with immediate medical attention.
I hereby authorize Dr. Dimple Kapoor, O.D and/or associates, or such assistants as may be designated by her to administer dilating eye drops. The eye drops are necessary to diagnose my condition.
