Thou routine retina check up can be done by any ophthalmologist, but if he or she finds some doubtful finding, then its Always safe to get a detailed check up done by a retina specialist. The procedure is quite safe and simple .

It is done to see the status of retina. Drop used for retina check up are completely safe. The blurring of vision after putting the drops is for 4 to 6 hrs.. After that it automatically  gets corrected

It’s routine procedure done to view dilated Retina examination. Blurring of vision is a short term & it’s due to drug effect.

It is completely safe . We are doing daily as it is difficult to see retina without using these drops .After putting this drop you will experience blurring of vision n photophobia for 4 to 5 hours.After that effect goes off .
Health Tips
Avoid driving after using this drop and also you will have difficulty in reading for 4 to 5 hours due to medicine effect.
