What can they check in an eye examination with out dilating your eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: The exam of the undilated eye can give us many things.We can verify the quality of your lens (look for cataracts), verify the health of the back of your eye(retina).The blood vessels that are visible along the back of your eye can suggest problems with your blood pressure or side effects of certain conditions or drugs.Dilating will give a broader field of view, but most cannot function well after
