A member asked:
Are there any possible negative effects of eye dilation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Light sensitivity: The principal one is sensitivity to light as the dilated pupil allows more light to enter the eye. Dilation commonly disturbs the focus, especially at near. Rarely in older far sighted people, dilation can induce a type of glaucoma.
