My eye number changed a bit and the optician told me to do a retina check. Im 6 months along and now im worried if all that scanning is okay for the baccha. Anyone did eye tests during pregnancy?
Right now, even getting out of bed feels like a major scan, haha! But seriously, regular eye checkups are fine, though if it's some special diagnostic scan with dilation drops, check with your gynac first. My eyes feel so dry anyway these days, probably just exhaustion.
My doctor had me on strict follow-ups due to my thyroid levels, which can actually affect eyesight sometimes. If you are having blurry vision or just need a routine eye scan, please discuss it with your gynac first. Keeping them in the loop for every small procedure is always best.
Whenever I had to get any test done, I made it a point to directly ask the hospital staff and my gynecologist first. Most eye scans for vision checkups are safe, but just tell the optometrist that you are pregnant. The doctors at the hospital will guide you best on what to avoid.
When I had to go for an eye checkup, I felt so nervous and kept holding my tummy the whole time. But my doctor assured me that a normal eye exam is totally safe and doesn't affect the little one. Always talk to your doc about how you feel, it helps a lot.
Oh my god, I also had so many doubts about this during my time! I kept thinking what if the bright lights or lasers affect the baby somehow. Please ask your doctor once just to be absolutely sure, it will ease your mind so much.
If it's for a job or visa biometric eye scan, don't worry, those are completely safe and millions of pregnant women do them. But if it's a medical eye test for glasses or pressure, just mention your pregnancy to the eye clinic. They will take care and use safe methods.
