Eye dilation: The ophthalmologist dilates the eye so that the entire back of the eye can be seen by examination. This is usually viewed with device strapped to the head of the eye doctor called an indirect ophthalmoscope, - using a bright light and mirror. This is part of a complete eye examination and dilation is also done to allow surgical and other treatments.
