Retinal exam in pregnancy

I had an episode of blurring and scotoma two weeks back in my left eye. I am 37+3 weeks pregnant. Today I went for an eye exam where they used dilating eye drops thrice before the exam. I wasn't told about punctal occlusion to reduce systemic absorption. How long will the medicine stay in my body? Can it harm my baby? Are these drops safe in pregnancy?
