[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1564104, member: 265172"] I was told a year or two back that now they are asked to always use dilation drops - previously they didn't always use them on me if it was a dark and dingy day and my pupils were wide enough anyway. I think the guidelines have changed, as I have been told that now they have to use drops every time. It's a faff, admittedly, what with not being able to get home under my own steam. I was able to sort a lift to and from the clinic this last time, but I was in charge of taking the minutes at a committee meeting that evening, and looking at a backlit screen all evening while trying to make sense of the overbright blur was a bit of a challenge. I didn't mind though, as if I have a problem with my eyes I would much prefer it to be picked up than risk it being overlooked. Worth the faff, in my opinion. :) [/QUOTE]
