Re: Eyes are Sore and Irritated After Eye Exam

Had my eye's tested three weeks ago, sinse then my eyes are sore, irritated, I am sensitive to light, my vision seems affected? My pupils feel like they are still dialated. Is it possible that the fluid that dialated my pupils could have caused this?
Dr Joan Hansen's response:
John, It is not likely that the drops to dilate your pupils are still having an affect. Having said that, it is possible to have a mild allergic reaction to one of the components of the drops – most often the preservative – but that would usually wear off the next day. I would suggest that you have your Optometrist check your eyes to see what is happening. I cannot diagnose it without looking at your eyes through a microscope. Dr. Joan Hansen, Optometrist for CAO
