Hi.. I have been dreading the eye screening which I have Monday..I suffer with anxiety about certain things and this is really freaking me out about having my eyes dilated. It's not the fact of the test it's just the drops being put in and what it will do to my sight.. I'm probably being so silly about all this but I'm working myself up and even thought of not going which I know I must go...I have been told my eyes will be blurry for few hours and that's what making me panic .. I know I'll just freak out if I can't see much .wish I didn't have this anxiety and I was calmer.. anyone that could give me more info about this I'd appreciate it. Many thanks

.......I've had eye screening for about the last five years, not once did I need to have any eye drops, it's not always necessary
