Is dilation neccessary?

Whether eye dilation is necessary for every eye exam depends on the reason for your particular eye examination, your overall health and your risk of eye diseases based on family history. When you come in for an eye exam, special drops are used that causes your pupil to widen which allows the doctor to see clearly a view of the back of... your eye. The dilation process can help your doctor diagnose or monitor many diseases and conditions of the eye, such as (but not limited to) diabetes, eye malignancies, high blood pressure, infectious diseases, macular degeneration, and retinal tears or detachments.

Pinguecula

A pinguecula is a small, yellowish nodule on the conjunctiva, which is the clear tissue that lays over the white part of the eye. It is a very common, non-cancerous growth most commonly caused from long-term sunlight exposure and that may increase in size over many years. An eye examination is often enough to diagnose this disorder. Lubrication with artificial tears is the only treatment normally needed. Sunglasses are the essential to reduce the incidence of pinguecula. -Susan

Can Pregnancy Affect My Vision?

Changes in hormones, metabolism, fluid retention, and blood circulation can all affect your eyes and your vision during pregnancy. If you wear glasses, it's unlikely that you'll need to change your prescription, but it is possible. If you think your vision has changed significantly, have it checked. In most cases, these changes are temporary and will reverse themselves within several months of delivery! Best of luck!
