Why does the doctor need to dilate my eyes?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Retina: To be able to check the back of the eye, the pupils if not dilated will be too small , with dilation the doctor will be able to have a better view of the retina and make sure that it looks normal.

Check the health: Dilation of the pupil allows the doctor to see the internal structures of the eye. This is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of many eye conditions.
