Have a routine eye checkup coming up and the doctor said they'll put drops to dilate. thoda hesitant now since im 6 months along. did anyone get this done during pregnancy without any issue?
I recently went for an eye checkup during my third trimester and the doctor actually refused to do dilation. She said unless it's an emergency, they avoid dilation drops during pregnancy. Better to double check with your gynac first!
While some eye drops for dilation are considered safe in small doses, others are avoided during pregnancy. It's best to let your ophthalmologist and gynac coordinate on this. Don't undergo any procedure without their direct approval.
Suno, agar bahut emergency na ho toh eye dilation abhi avoid hi karo. Un drops me chemicals hote hain jo body me absorb ho sakte hain. Phir bhi agar zaroori hai, toh apne eye doctor ko pehle hi bata dena ki tum pregnant ho.
Honestly, I have no idea about eye tests but I'd say skip the dilation if you can, because those blurry eyes will make it so hard to read restaurant menus or order food online! Ask your doctor if it's really necessary right now.
If it's just a routine eye checkup, better to postpone it and save the consultation money for later hospital scans. But if you have gestational diabetes and the eye test is mandatory, tell the doctor so they use safe, mild drops that don't harm the baby.
I had to get my eyes checked when my toddler was in my belly due to some vision issues. The doctor said routine dilation is usually postponed unless there's a serious medical reason like high BP or diabetes. So don't worry, just consult both doctors.
Oh god, please make sure you tell the eye clinic multiple times that you are pregnant! I was so anxious about eye drops during my checkup that I postponed the dilation test entirely until after delivery. Just be very careful and ask your gynac first.
