Dilation is the standard of care for examining the internal structures of your eyes. Certain dangers and diseases like retinal tears, retinal holes, hypertension, diabetes and even cancers cannot be detected without proper visualization of the internal health of your eyes. That is why at Gee Eye Care, where we are dedicated to the health of your eyes, Dr. Gee highly recommends dilating your eyes every year.
Dilation can sometimes be inconvenient but the most common effects of dilation usually only consist of blurry vision for near tasks (most patients are able to drive home safely and comfortably) and minor light sensitivity. Dr. Gee realizes that these inconveniences can deter his patients from choosing what is ultimately the best care for their ocular health and for that reason he offers evening hours when the sun has set and you do not have to miss work or school to have your eyes properly and thoroughly examined.
