I recently had my eyes dilated using Cyclopentolate 1% and was surprised by the side effects. I experienced some blurry vision and light sensitivity, but nothing too severe. However, I'm curious about others' experiences, especially regarding the more serious side effects. How common are they, and has anyone had to seek medical help? Additionally, I'm wondering if there are any tips for managing the side effects or speeding up the recovery process. I know it can take a few hours, but does anyone know if there's a way to safely reduce this time? I also saw that there are some serious side effects for infants. As a parent, I would be hesitant to use this. Has anyone had any experience with this?
