It is okay to dilate your pupils twice in a week.
Pupil dilation is a common ophthalmologic examination and treatment means. It is usually used for the optometric examination of patients with refractive errors in minors to exclude the interference of the eye’s adjustment function on the results of optometry, and also for the detailed examination of the fundus of the eye, which can be more comprehensively and in detail understood by dilating the pupil. Additionally, diseases such as iridocyclitis can be treated by dilating the pupil to prevent adhesion between the iris and the lens.
Under normal circumstances, dilating the pupils is not harmful to the health of the eye, and even dilating the pupils twice a week is fine. However, dilation is prohibited in patients with closed-angle glaucoma because it may aggravate the glaucoma condition.
Whether or not the patient needs to dilate the pupils should be examined at the ophthalmology department of the hospital, and the doctor will make a decision based on the patient’s eye condition.
