Yes: As long as you can focus to perform the video game successfully, there is no harm in doing it with dilated eyes.

While my eyes were still dilated using drops, I got an air puff eye pressure test taken. I am really scared that this is not safe for my eyes. Should I be concerned about the air puff damaging my more sensitive dilated eyes?
