Retinal examination?

I have -7 diopters in both eyes and haven't been to the ophthalmologist in a while (I'm in my early 30s). I went to the doctor today and was scheduled for a separate retinal exam in two weeks. What can I expect? (I googled it, but wanted to ask the question here anyway.)

-Does something like that hurt?

-Is it always the case that I am no longer allowed to drive a car after this?

-How does this usually work?

For the exact examination of the retina also looked through the iris and the lens as well as the glass body on the retina – that only works if the Iris wide open is.

This is achieved with drugs (drops) based on pseudo-adrenalin. In addition, the lens is completely “released” and the moving Ziliarmuskel, in order to be able to measure the lens correctly even independently of your physical reactions.

These drugs are re-degraded in a few hours, only after that the iris and the lens are again functional.

This means you’re set to “infinitely” – you can’t even pull a ticket at the ticket machine, you should know. In addition, “the eye is quite open” (actually the iris), so that you are extremely blinded now in the summer.

So: Assistant take along, strong sunglasses take the ticket in advance and do not participate in the road traffic with anything that has wheels.

Good luck!
