Is it safe to play soccer after getting my eyes dilated from an eye exam? will being outside harm my eyes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would prefer you wait until the dilation returns to normal. When pupils are dilated, sunlight creates glare and obscuration of clear vision, and if moving and playing a sport, injury could be more readily experienced. Since reversal takes but a few hours, what is your rush?
