[QUOTE="cezli84, post: 1065564, member: 178620"] Hi. I got diagnosed in apr last year an i was scared of my first eye test. Yes they do need to dilate the pupils. It stings only for a short time. They let it settle for a short while then They get u to read cards using each eye separate then they take u to the other room to take pics of the backs of your eyes. Nothing but the fluid in the eye drops touches your eyes so please dont worry. They do suggest not driving for several hours after as it can affect u but after that time your eyes go back to normal. I believe the eye test is done so early on for the reason of comparison against the next ones u have to detect any changes. They advise to see a normal opticians too which i did and needed glasses purely for the fact one eye was stronger than the other an my right eye was over compensating for my left but that was nothing to do with T1. Hope it goes ok, sure u will be fine xx [/QUOTE]
