Why dilation?
Dilation
allows the eye doctor to get a much better view of your
retina, optic nerve and blood vessels in the back of the
eye. This is a very important part of your preventive
health care.
Did you
know that diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure
are often first discovered during the dilated eye exam?
