WHAT SHOULD I PAY ATTENTION TO BEFORE VISITING AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST?

There is no specific time for an ophthalmological examination. The main thing is that before visiting, it is recommended to reduce visual loads: working at a computer, watching videos or games on your phone and other devices.

If you are a user of soft contact lenses (MCL), it is recommended to remove them 24 hours before the scheduled examination.
Wearing the MCL changes the topography of the cornea, so to get more accurate data about your vision, come for an examination without contact lenses.

For girls, you can not apply cosmetics to the eye area (mascara, shadows, various creams).
Be sure to bring sunglasses and an accompanying person. It is advisable to get time off at work.
Some types of vision diagnostics require pupil dilation. To do this, use special drops – mydriatics. When the pupil is dilated, vision is blurry for up to 1.5 days, depending on the color of the eyes and other features of vision.

Therefore, after the pupil dilation, you will not be able to drive a car, work at a computer, use a mobile phone, read and watch TV.
