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 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 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.
