Optometrists dilate a person's eyes so they can see the inside and back of the eyes. An eye exam should be performed annually. An ophthalmologist examines a patient. Normally, a person's pupils contract when light is bright. Routine eye exams are painless and can help detect vision or eye problems early.
Whether eye dilation during an exam is necessary depends on the reason for your exam, your age, your overall health and your risk of eye diseases. The eyedrops used for dilation cause your pupils to widen, allowing in more light and giving your doctor a better view of the back of your eye. Eye dilation assists your doctor in diagnosing common diseases and conditions, possibly at their earliest stages. They include: Diabetes.
