icesktr189 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I am getting my eyes dialated tomorrow. Any experiences on this? I am really not looking forward to it but its better than not knowing whats going on i guess.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I can't handle the drops, in two minutes I will be throwing up in the trash can, the techs move fast to get the garbage can. I found the doctor who use an opto map that doesn't require to dialate the eyes. Good Luck.Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louloutinks Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 do not drive after the drops - my eyes felt quite uncomfortable and the light was painful. Did not like it very much. My mum had it done and she wasnt too bad though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenwic Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I can't get them. I get very tachy and weak, but I probably have MCAD so I don't tolerate meds well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuliya Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I can't do the drops either, they gave me anxiety attack, palpitations, tachycardia, and I stayed dilated for 2 days. Apparently a lot of children react the same way that I do, so my doctor suggested I never get them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icesktr189 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks everyone! I opted out of the dialatuon drops but did get the numbing ones. They burned a bit and made me kind of dizzy but nothing too bad thank gosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoegal Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 the first time I had a reaction I was told I was nuts, the 2nd time they used something different and I did not react. I am due a dilation but so scared, don't know which one made me sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icesktr189 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Honestly I didn't need them. The doctor just put the light right up to my eye and looked very closely (his nose was touching my face). He said he could see everything. I think they just do them because it is much easier, but if you tell them that you can't do them, they can still see your retina and everything else!

shoegal Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I guess some it depends on how much your pupils restrict as well. I have serious eye issues so they like to see more of the optic nerve. They can't fix anything though so I am putting myself through the trauma less and less.

enko Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 My opto does it every 3 months, I don't have any problems (ofc, my vision is a bit blurry for the rest of the day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
