How painful is the sting from having one's eyes dilated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minor: Dilation involves the application of eyedrops for that purpose that might sting a little for 3-5 seconds, but after that there is no discomfort. You might feel some light sensitivity later until the dilation ends.
