Do I Really Need to Have My Eyes Dilated?

One of the most common questions we hear as eye doctors is, "do you really need to dilate my eyes?"  The answer is - yes! When your eyes are dilated, drops are given to enlarge the pupil. This allows more light to enter the eye so that the back of the eye, including the retina and the optic nerve, can be thoroughly examined.

BEWARE - Costume Contacts Can Lead to Serious Eye Trouble
